Graduate AI & Performance Analyst | 12-Month FTC | Hybrid (Home Counties) | Full-Time
Not sure a "graduate scheme" is what you're after? Fair enough. This isn't one.
This is a genuine graduate opportunity to work directly with a Chief Information Officer at a large, well-established UK retail group, using AI to help shape real decisions, not just sit in on them.
No automotive or AI background needed. What matters is that you're curious, sharp with data, and ready to get stuck in from week one.
What you'll actually be doing:
- Using Microsoft Copilot and other AI tools to turn business reports and performance data into insight that people actually act on
- Working with senior managers across the business to solve real, practical problems, think customer experience, productivity, commercial performance
- Getting properly involved with how a large organisation uses AI, not just watching from the sidelines
- Building relationships with people right up to senior leadership, and learning to influence without needing a fancy title to back you up
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.
