About The Role
What does the average day look like?
A typical day involves the collation, cleansing, and transformation of datasets such as project milestones, project finances, and organisational information. You'll produce and evolve reports for a variety of stakeholders, analysing their data to provide insights that help teams make informed decisions. You will maintain work instructions, gather reporting feedback, and drive continuous improvement. You will be involved in enforcing governance over various project and data processes, acting as a subject matter expert to drive improvement across the wider team.
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.
A Little Bit About The Team...
You'll be joining the Strategic Planning & Controls (SP&C) team as one of three Business Information & Reporting Analysts. Along with Planners and other roles, this team of around nine people provides data, reporting and governance support across the Innovation, Delivery & Improvement (IDI) team's wide range of projects and programmes. These projects enable the organisation and wider industry to deliver change, realise benefits and meet strategic objectives, and they fall into three main categories:
- Compliance - programmes aimed at achieving compliance with legislation or policy.
- Strategic - deliver a clearly defined vision that realises strategic opportunities and may change the operating model.
- Emergent - evolve to respond to situations or events that are often beyond the organisation's immediate control.
In IDI we have a friendly and welcoming team environment and put a strong emphasis on learning and continuously improving.
In a broader context, IDI sits within the Technical Authority (TA) function, under its Chief Technology Officer. TA provides Network Rail with technical expertise, including competence and assurance regimes, in various disciplines including engineering, health and safety, security, environment and sustainability, and technology on the railway.
