About the Role
Data is at the heart of everything we do. We operate a multitude of systems that store, process and use data to support our operations, analytics and reporting, all driving us towards our business goals of helping our customers and associates succeed. Ensuring we have a thorough understanding and robust management of the data the UK business creates and uses is crucial. This is essential to ensuring our business is well managed, giving users ultimate confidence that the data they are using is available and of the highest quality.
We are seeking an energetic and forward-thinking individual to join us to help build, deliver, improve and lead on data management across the business. In this role, you will work on a variety of strategic and technical activities to solve complex problems, drive technical convergence, and safely operationalise Artificial Intelligence (AI) frameworks to unlock the power of data through excellent data management.

- Operationalise & Unlock Value
- Drive and implement AI within the Data Management Team (DMT), leading the thinking on near-term value unlocks that enable end-users to self-serve through AI.
- Strategic Alignment
- Understand and plan for advances in Enterprise AI Data Management Strategy, advising on how the UK business should be structured to align.
- Technological Convergence & Core Infrastructure Migration Leadership
- Serve as a technical lead for convergence migration, covering data storage, definitions, lineage, quality, modelling, access and consumption.
- End-to-End Coordination
- Ensure critical migration factors are met, including setting up correct access profiles, migrating metadata/data quality rules, and setting up UK analytical teams for success.
- Enterprise Integration & Roadmapping
- Partner with Enterprise teams to plan migration sequencing and dependencies, whilst driving our broader data strategy by identifying industry maturity gaps.
- Stakeholder Engagement & Risk
- Collaborate with stakeholders to drive policy-compliant practices across the data lifecycle, executing data management assessments through 2nd and 3rd-line reviews.
- Talent Development
- Coach, nurture and develop associates across the business to ensure a thorough understanding of their data management responsibilities and the value behind them.
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.
