We’re one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world, with a network that covers more than 50 countries and territories. We aim to be where the growth is, enabling businesses to thrive and economies to prosper, and, ultimately, helping people fulfil their hopes and realise their ambitions.

We are seeking a Data Scientist

The Financial Crime (FC) Chief Data and Analytics Office (CDAO) role is to manage data products, processes and applications on the Compliance/FC Data Lakes and Cloud Environments and define the strategy for their future evolution. This encompasses the end-to-end design, modelling and delivery of enhanced datasets to optimise the performance of our crime detection models and yield the greatest possible insight for all users, including FC Analyst, Investigator, Data Scientist and MI communities, many of whom we collaborate with closely. The team is also responsible for regulating the data environment, including platform architecture, management and configuration, security, and data quality.

In this role, you will:

  • Use a range of data tools (including SQL and Python on Hadoop and GCP environments) to perform analysis/analytics tasks on a broad range of datasets to yield insight which informs design of business and technical processes and data assets.
  • Demonstrate traceability of functional and non-functional requirements and solution design.
  • Create analysis of data-driven product functionality.
  • Provide insight as to how a Data Analyst should learn and progress throughout the organisation.
  • Drive adoption of the practice across the Data Analyst community.
  • Work with stakeholders, engineers, and senior team members to define the problem statements, questions, and requirements that the role holder and team will deliver.
  • Manage and evaluate the change impact assessments of proposed requirements.
  • Understand and challenge the implications of change such as dependencies, feasibility, scope, outputs, and process.
  • Manage and provide domain expertise to support design development activities; e.g., reviewing technical documentation and working with data and technical specialists from stakeholder teams to design their capabilities (including models and business processes).
  • Manage and help prepare for Design Authorities and other forums and work with the development team to ensure challenges raised are addressed.
  • Manage, track, and report delivery progress against requirements.
  • Work with the Product Owner to manage, define, and track performance measures. Support and guide the Product Owner to create/evolve Product roadmap, creation of epics, and writing of user stories and managing the product backlog.
  • Help define and track metrics and Key Performance Indicators for the product.
  • Drive the Agile Team performance and outcome metrics as required, building and using their expertise in Agile.

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.
