We're partnering with a well-established professional services firm to find a Data Management & Governance Specialist for a newly created 12-month fixed-term contract.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a hands-on data professional to make a real impact building governance foundations from the ground up within a collaborative, forward-thinking data team and be the ambassador for data governance within the firm.
The role sits within the Data function, reporting directly to the Head of Data, with a secondary support element to the DPO on an as-needed basis.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.

- Building and maintaining the firm's data catalogue, metadata, business glossary, and classification framework
- Defining and embedding practical data quality rules in collaboration with data owners and SMEs
