Data Analyst Role

The Data Analyst role is about ascertaining how data can be used to answer questions and solve problems. Data analysis is a process of requirement-gathering, inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modelling data with the goal of discovering useful information, informing conclusions, and supporting decision-making.

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

  • Use data systems securely to meet requirements and in line with organisational procedures and legislation, including principles of Privacy by Design
  • Implement the stages of the data analysis lifecycle
  • Apply principles of data classification within the data analysis activity
  • Analyse data sets taking account of different data structures and database designs
  • Assess the impact on user experience and domain context on data analysis activity
  • Identify and escalate quality risks in data analysis with suggested mitigation or resolutions as appropriate
  • Undertake customer requirements analysis and implement findings in data analytics planning and outputs
  • Identify data sources and the risks and challenges to combining within the data analysis activity
  • Apply organisational architecture requirements to data analysis activities
  • Apply statistical methodologies to data analysis tasks
  • Apply predictive analytics in the collation and use of data
  • Collaborate and communicate with a range of internal and external stakeholders using appropriate styles and behaviours to suit the audience
  • Use a range of analytical techniques such as data mining, time series forecasting, and modelling techniques to identify and predict trends and patterns in data
  • Collate and interpret qualitative and quantitative data and convert into infographics, reports, tables, dashboards, and graphs
  • Select and apply the most appropriate data tools to achieve the optimum outcome

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.
