Help shape how data protection is embedded across a major financial services business.

The details

  • 5 month contract
  • £450-500 per day Umbrella Contract. Inside IR35.
  • Remote working, with some travel to the Gloucestershire office initially before moving to a more flexible remote arrangement.

This is a hands-on Privacy contract where you'll advise on business change, technology and transformation projects, ensuring privacy is considered from the outset rather than treated as an afterthought.

You'll work with stakeholders across the business to review new initiatives, support DPIAs, provide pragmatic data protection advice and help embed Privacy by Design into day-to-day decision making. It's a role for someone who enjoys solving problems, influencing stakeholders and applying common sense to complex situations.

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.
