Analytics & Experimentation Lead
As our next Analytics & Experimentation Lead, you'll play a key role in helping us build the UK's go-to home improvement marketplace. Analytics tooling — including AI — is doing more of the heavy lifting on execution, and this role is the human layer above it: making sure the numbers are right, understanding what's really driving them, and working out what we do next. You'll own that from end to end, across three layers we care about: the how, the why, and the so what.
Responsibilities
Forget long lists, here's what you'll actually spend your time on:
- Owning metric integrity — defining and governing what our numbers actually mean, so no one downstream is making a call off a flawed definition or a dodgy query.
- Acting as the quality gate on AI-generated analysis — checking the logic, validating the output, and catching errors before they ever reach a stakeholder.
- Designing and interpreting A/B tests — setting the success metrics, sizing the sample properly, and knowing when a result is underpowered rather than just running with it.
- Diagnosing what's actually driving commercial performance — why revenue is moving, where leads are dropping out of the funnel, which segments are underperforming — and turning that into a structured investigation with real hypotheses.
- Turning analysis into action — sizing the commercial impact, laying out the trade-offs, and helping the business decide what to do differently, then tracking whether it worked.
- Building interactive dashboards and self-serve tools that keep stakeholders oriented day-to-day, without an analyst needing to be in the loop every time.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It 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.
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.
Requirements
It's not about ticking every box. It's about turning up curious, ready to crack on. You'll do well here if you bring:
- A track record across all three layers — not just producing analysis, but diagnosing the cause and driving the action that actually changed the outcome.
- The analytical foundation to sense-check AI-generated work — fluency with SQL and data concepts, so you know when an output is wrong before anyone else spots it.
- Experience designing experiments and turning statistical findings into commercial recommendations that hold up under scrutiny.
- A knack for explaining complex findings to non-technical audiences in a way that actually moves a decision — experience in a marketplace, subscription or lead-generation business, or with tools like Python, Tableau or Looker, is a bonus rather than a must.
Benefits
We believe great work deserves great rewards. Here's just a taste:
