Fraud Data Scientist

A growing fintech is looking for a Data Scientist to take ownership of fraud analytics and fraud prevention capabilities. This is a high-impact role where you'll develop fraud models, identify emerging risks, and work closely with underwriting, product, and engineering teams to improve customer outcomes.

The Company

This innovative financial services business is reshaping how consumers access credit through a more transparent and customer-focused model. With continued growth and investment in data, they offer the chance to make a real impact within a collaborative and supportive environment.

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.
