Description
As our Data Product Manager for core business data products & strategic partnerships, you'll shape the data products that power smarter decisions across the business while making sure our biggest commercial partnerships have the trusted data they need to thrive. You'll spend as much time working with business stakeholders and strategic partners as you do with analytics and engineering teams, translating complex needs into scalable data products that make life simpler for everyone.
What you’ll be getting stuck into
- Own and evolve Virgin Red's core business data products, creating trusted, reusable data that powers the business.
- Partner with commercial, marketing and product teams to understand business needs and turn them into clear data priorities.
- Shape how we measure what matters, from customer and commercial performance to operational insights.
- Act as the bridge between business stakeholders, analytics, engineering and data product teams, ensuring everyone is working towards the same goals.
- Lead the data workstream for strategic partnerships, helping onboard new partners and delivering scalable data solutions rather than one-off builds.
- Prioritise analytics and reporting demand, ensuring teams focus on the work that delivers the biggest impact.
- Champion consistent data definitions and best practice, helping create a single source of truth across Virgin Red.
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.
