DV Cleared Data Architect
UK Wide | Hybrid | Permanent | £60,000–£103,000 | DV Clearance (MOD)
I’m working with a leading National Security and Defence organisation that is expanding its data and technology teams and is looking for experienced Data Architects to join at Senior Consultant through to Principal Consultant level.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for shaping how data is designed, managed and used across complex technology environments. This is a hands-on architecture role where you’ll work with technical teams and senior stakeholders to turn business requirements into scalable, secure and practical data solutions.
You’ll have the opportunity to work across modern data platforms, cloud technologies and large-scale transformation programmes, with plenty of scope to influence architecture decisions rather than simply document them.
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.
