About QuantSpark
We're a (roughly) 50-person analytics and AI consultancy in London - small enough that the work you do is visible to the whole business, and ambitious enough that what we take on is some of the most interesting work in our field, applying data science, machine learning and applied AI to problems that move the needle for the organisations we work with.
We work across financial services, manufacturing, retail, the public sector (and more), on everything from FTSE 100 transformation programmes to long-running work on tricky societal problems.
We deliver that through four capabilities:
- AiRE (AI Rollout Engine): embedding AI tools into how a business runs
- QuantSpark Labs: short, sharp engagements that prove or kill an idea fast
- QuantSpark Transform: consulting-led change to how a business makes decisions, using data, AI and software as the lever
- QuantSpark Forge: enterprise data and AI solutions, built and embedded to solve problems that come up again and again
This year, our work received some outside recognition too: Consultancy of the Year at the British Data Awards 2026, and a finalist place in this year's Culture 100 Awards.
The Role
The Engineering Manager leads a small team of engineers while working on client delivery. You'll move across a few different projects, and bring technical credibility to your team, while also developing and coaching them.
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.

If you're reading this and ticking most of the boxes but not all of them, apply anyway. We'd rather hear from someone who's good at this and slightly different on paper than miss them because a requirement didn't quite match.
