It's a purpose that drives everything we do. And you can play your part too – join our Business Readiness team as our Transformation Communications and Engagement Manager on a 12-18 month FTC.
How You'll Make a Difference
We're looking for a creative, strategic and delivery-focused Communications and Engagement Manager to shape how colleagues experience the biggest transformation programme in our history.
Our Core Transformation is a multi-year programme that will change how we work, serve customers and support the Society's future. You'll create the communications and engagement strategy, roadmap and delivery plan through to 2028 and beyond, bringing fresh, creative ideas on how to engage colleagues whilst ensuring messages are clear, joined up, timely, meaningful and measurable.
What will you bring to the role?
- Proven experience creating and delivering communications and engagement strategies for large-scale transformation, technology, operational or customer-impacting change.
- Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the confidence to work with senior leaders, programme teams and business areas.
- Ability to translate complex change into clear, engaging and audience-led messaging for colleagues, leaders and customers.
- Creative approach to engagement, using different channels, formats and interventions to help people understand, support and adopt change.
- Strong planning and delivery capability, including managing milestones, dependencies, approvals and measuring impact through insight, feedback or readiness data.
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.
