Commercial Data Analyst
£45,000 – £55,000 | London | Hybrid, 3 days a week on site
Fancy a Data Analyst role where you're actually in the room when the decisions get made?
We're working with a fast-growing luxury fashion and eCommerce group that's investing heavily in its next stage of growth. At the centre of the business is a membership-led digital platform with a growing customer base and a lot of rich behavioural data to dig into.
They're now building out the data, tech and commercial infrastructure to support that growth, and are looking for a Commercial Data Analyst to be one of the foundational people on that journey.
This isn't a dashboards-into-the-void kind of role. You'll be working directly with senior commercial leadership, using data to understand customer behaviour, spot trends, and answer the questions that are actually driving growth across the business.
What you'll be doing
- Take ownership of analysis across customer, membership, trading and operational performance, including:
- Using SQL to interrogate data across multiple systems and datasets
- Turning broad commercial questions into clear, useful analysis
- Spotting trends and opportunities worth digging into further
- Building reporting and dashboards in Tableau, Power BI, Looker or similar
- Presenting findings in a way that lands with commercial and senior stakeholders
- Helping define and measure the KPIs that matter as the business scales
- Working between Commercial and Technology as the business develops its central data warehouse
- Supporting data quality, accuracy and reporting logic as that environment evolves
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.

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.
You won't be expected to architect or build the data warehouse, there's already technical ownership in place. Your job is making sure the data coming out of it is accurate, useful, and able to support real commercial decisions.
What we're looking for
- Strong SQL skills and confidence working independently with data
- Previous experience working with a data warehouse
- Experience with BI/reporting tools such as Tableau, Power BI or Looker
- Strong reporting and trend-analysis experience
- The ability to explain data clearly to non-technical and senior stakeholders
- Commercial curiosity, and the confidence to look beyond the original question
Experience in eCommerce, consumer, subscription, membership, marketplace or app-led businesses would be particularly relevant but we're far more interested in how you think than whether you've used the exact same tech stack before.

Why consider it
This is a newly created role with genuine visibility and room to grow. You'll work closely with the senior leader responsible for Commercial Finance, Strategy and Growth, with regular exposure to the wider leadership team.

- Take much broader ownership of your analysis
- Work directly with senior decision-makers
- See the commercial impact of the insights you produce
- Help shape a developing data function
- Build towards Senior, Manager and potentially broader Data & Analytics leadership as the business scales
Package
- £45,000 – £55,000
- Hybrid, 3 days a week in the London office
- Private medical cover
- Staff discount
- Further benefits currently being introduced
If you're technically strong but want your next move to bring more commercial exposure, ownership and progression, get in touch.
