Do you love turning complex data into clear, defensible insight? Are you the person colleagues turn to when a decision needs to stand up to scrutiny? This role puts your analytical and governance expertise at the heart of how to make decisions and deliver value for local communities.
The Role
As Governance, Data and Assurance Lead, you will be the guardian of evidence-based decision-making. You will help shape a modern, resilient governance framework that keeps decisions transparent, objective and auditable.
You will:
- Collate, validate and analyse large datasets to identify trends, risks, opportunities and efficiencies.
- Build and maintain robust, auditable financial models, including whole-life costing, benchmarking, sensitivity and total cost of ownership analysis.
- Produce management reports, KPI dashboards and insight that support strategic and operational decision-making.
- Develop and continually improve data models and analytical tools that underpin governance, compliance and planning.
- Design and assure evaluation and scoring approaches, safeguarding consistency and preventing bias.
- Lead the delivery of accurate, timely data for statutory reporting, and track and report financial benefits with clear audit trails.
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.
