Want to help build the data foundations behind a bank's AI and automation strategy?
This is an opportunity to join an international bank investing heavily in AI, automation and digital transformation. Working within the Strategy & Transformation team, you'll build the pipelines, integrations and data infrastructure needed to turn ambitious AI and automation projects into scalable solutions.
Technical capability is important, but so is how you operate. They're looking for someone with a clear, commercial style who enjoys being part of a team, understands the wider business context and can communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
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.
