Data Protection Manager

Data Protection Manager

Take ownership of data protection strategy in a business where you’ll shape the function from day one.

You’ll have the freedom to build on a clean slate, using the best tech and tools available to make a real mark. This is your chance to influence how a major brand handles data privacy, with full backing to evolve policies and frameworks as you see fit.

Enjoy a flexible hybrid working arrangement that lets you balance time in the London office with days working remotely from wherever suits you best. On top of that, you’ll get a generous 20-40% bonus, 25 holidays (with the option to buy or sell more), and a 12% pension contribution.

And it’s not just about the perks. You’ll be working for a globally recognised brand that’s redefining retail. They’re disrupting the industry, leading it into a more conscientious and inspiring digital era – and you’ll be right at the heart of that transformation.

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.
