In this role you will:

- Support requirements, user acceptance testing, releases, change adoption and CRM enhancements, including case management and Microsoft Copilot use cases
Client & Distribution Intelligence
- Translate CRM data into actionable insight that supports marketing, sales, distribution, leadership and client-facing teams
- Develop and improve reporting, dashboards and views that provide visibility into client engagement, pipeline progression, activity trends, cases and business outcomes
- Support the development and refinement of CRM signals and alerts that help client-facing teams prioritise engagement opportunities
- Analyse user behaviour, process performance and CRM interaction patterns to identify opportunities for process improvement, better adoption and increased business effectiveness
Data Quality & Governance
- Review regional data integrity, ownership and mapping across accounts, contacts, opportunities, activities, cases and relationship records
- Identify duplicate, missing or inconsistent data and work with regional teams to agree clear, achievable improvement actions
- Strengthen the completeness, accuracy and usefulness of CRM data by closing data gaps, reducing inconsistencies and using relevant internal and external data sources to enrich client and intermediary records
- Monitor adoption and data-quality metrics, sharing risks, priorities and recommendations with relevant stakeholders
- Support data governance processes, internal data management standards and relevant regulatory requirements
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.
