About the Company

About the Role

Want to join a data team that's ready for Data Science?

The foundations are built. The platform is live, the engineers and analysts are in place, and the team is now adding a Data Scientist to turn that into models that shape real decisions across customer behaviour, risk, and operational efficiency.

You'll work day to day with Data Engineering and Analytics colleagues who already understand what Data Science needs to succeed.

Responsibilities

  • Take business problems from first question to deployed model
  • Build and validate models in Python, then monitor them in production
  • Use statistics, experimentation, and A/B testing to test ideas properly
  • Partner with Data Engineering on pipelines, features, and productionisation
  • Support Analytics colleagues on more complex statistical problems
  • Share knowledge and help set best practice across the team
  • Explain results clearly to senior stakeholders, focused on the business answer

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.
