The opportunity

Data & AI are increasingly central to how organisations transform their business, operate at scale and compete in their markets.

Within our Business Transformation and Consulting practice, we are strengthening our capability in Data & AI to support complex, end-to-end transformation programmes across UK and EMEA.

We are looking for a Senior Manager with strong experience in data-led business transformation to play a key leadership role across client delivery, commercial activity and capability development, working closely with senior leadership.

Your Role

As Senior Manager – Data Strategy & AI Transformation, you will:

Business Transformation & Client Leadership

  • Define enterprise data strategies aligned to business growth objectives.
  • Define data product models and governance frameworks, in colaboración with Data Architects.
  • Translate strategic ambition into phased, executable roadmaps (i.e. Semantic Layers, Unified Customer ID, NBAs and decisioning engines, advanced segmentation...)
  • Integrate Data & AI into broader transformation programmes (marketing transformation, CRM modernisation, digital reinvention, operating model redesign) with a clear business impact approach
  • Define how AI (including GenAI and agentic systems) can be embedded into workflows, decisioning and activation.

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.
