Data Scientist – Financial Services

Location: London

Working Model: Hybrid

Contract: £400-£500 per day inside IR35


We are looking for a Data Scientist with a few years of commercial experience to join a major financial services firm within their Data & Insights team in London.

The role will focus on building and developing data science models across a range of client, commercial and risk-focused use cases. You’ll work with large datasets, applying predictive modelling techniques to generate signals, prompts and insights that can be embedded into the wider business.

You’ll also work closely with development and engineering teams to ensure models can be effectively deployed and integrated into production environments.

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.
