Data Scientist | Manchester City Centre | Hybrid | Bonus + Benefits
Most data roles let you build models. This one lets you see them change how a business runs. Our client is an ethical, meritocratic Financial Services business in the heart of Manchester. It's a place where analytics isn't a support function; it drives how the business operates. You'll be surrounded by bright, curious colleagues, where good ideas win regardless of who they come from.
What you'll actually be doing
- Hunting down trends, patterns and anomalies, and explaining why they matter
- Building and maintaining statistical models (regression, time series, predictive) that directly improve how operations run
- Writing Python and SQL to clean, shape and automate data pipelines
- Working side by side with operations teams to find efficiency gains, then designing the fix
- Presenting your findings to senior leadership and the board in plain English, not jargon
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

- Strong Python and SQL (these are must-haves)

- The ability to make complex findings land with non-technical people
Bonus points for
- Databricks, Power BI or Tableau
- ML techniques (classifiers, regression and beyond)
- Git
- Data warehousing knowledge
The good stuff
- Hybrid working (3 days in a great city-centre office)
- A bespoke bonus
- Solid benefits
- Work you can point to and say "I did that."
