Test Manager | SC + NPPV3 Cleared | £DOE/day | Outside IR35 | 12 Month Contract | Hybrid - Occasional Travel to Gloucester
I am looking for a Test Manager/ Test Architect to own the end-to-end test delivery for a client in the Public sector.
You will be responsible for setting the strategy, owning the lifecycle from planning through to sign-off, and are the name against the release decision.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
