Turn your interest in data into real client experience
Join Grayce as a Graduate Data Consultant and start building a career using data to solve business problems, improve decisions and support major change.
You’ll work full-time with a Grayce client in York and contribute to real data-led work from the start. Depending on the project and your developing strengths, you could analyse datasets, build dashboards, communicate insights, improve data quality or support data pipelines and transformations.
Alongside your client experience, Grayce’s Accelerated Development Programme provides structured learning, dedicated mentoring and a minimum of six industry-recognised accreditations.
What You Could Be Doing
Your responsibilities may include:
- Analysing and interpreting complex datasets
- Identifying trends, patterns and opportunities for improvement
- Building dashboards, reports and data visualisations
- Communicating findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Supporting data pipelines and data transformations
- Checking and improving data quality
- Helping teams apply data governance standards
- Contributing to data-led business and technology change
You’ll normally work with one client at a time, giving you the opportunity to understand its data, people and business challenges in depth. You won’t just produce analysis—you’ll learn how to make your findings clear, relevant and useful.
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.
