Description
We're looking for a Data Product Manager to turn experimentation, data science and decisioning into products that create genuinely better experiences for our members. You'll help shape the models, experiments and decision engines that power personalisation across Virgin Red. If you're excited by taking complex data and turning it into real-world decisions, you'll feel right at home.
What you’ll be getting stuck into
- Co-own the product strategy for decisioning, optimisation and data science products that power personalised experiences.
- Work alongside data scientists to take models from experimentation into reliable, scalable products used across the business.
- Lead experimentation, helping teams test ideas, learn quickly and make better decisions backed by data.
- Build reusable data products, features and signals that improve how we understand and serve our members.
- Partner with commercial, product and strategy teams to solve complex problems where customer needs, business goals and technical trade-offs all come together.
- Help shape how Virgin Red uses customer data responsibly to create smarter recommendations and more relevant experiences across our partner network.
- Balance scientific curiosity with delivering measurable outcomes that make a real difference to our members and the business.
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.
