Interim AI & Data Consultant - Professional Services Platform
London (hybrid) | 6–8 months | Start mid-September
A private-equity-backed group building a platform of accountancy practices across the UK and Europe needs a consultant to lead its AI, automation and data agenda across the portfolio.
This is a client-facing role. You'd sit in a six-person central team, working directly with the UK CEO, as the bridge between a technical centre of excellence and the managing partners of independently run SME firms.
What you'd be doing
- Working with firm leadership to identify where AI and automation genuinely improve margin on high-volume compliance work
- Getting firms' data into a structure where AI is worth deploying at all
- Scoping initiatives with the technical team, then landing them with the firms and driving adoption
- Spotting what one firm already does well, standardising it, and taking it across the group
- Making the commercial case to partners in terms they care about
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.
Graduate Consultant — 2026 Scheme
Why you're a good match
StrongYour economics background and your summer at a regional bank line up with what PwC looks for on the consulting scheme. Applications close in four weeks.
See breakdownIt searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Alongside that, pricing and cross-referral work across the portfolio.
The distinction that matters:
We're looking for someone who has delivered AI and automation, not directed it. Not the person who owned the vendor relationship or presented the roadmap - the person who was in the detail when it went live and stayed until people were actually using it.
Equally, this is not purely a technical role. You'd be in front of partners most weeks. You need enough depth to be credible with a build team and enough polish to sit with a managing partner and explain what a change is worth to their business.


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll likely bring:
- A consulting background - Big 4, mid-tier or a specialist AI and data practice
- Hands-on delivery of AI, automation or data initiatives that reached live use and adoption
- Experience inside professional services: accountancy, legal or similar partnership environments
- An accounting or commercial grounding, or consulting with genuine commercial instinct
- Comfort being the most client-facing person in a technical conversation, and the most technical person in a client one
Probably not a fit if:
- Your AI experience is strategy, roadmaps or vendor selection;
- You've overseen deployments rather than delivered them;
- Your background is enterprise IT rather than professional services.
