In short:
We require a strong Data Analyst with financial experience to join a Technology Business Management team ensuring accurate costings for their infrastructure operations spend. You will be modelling (Excel) the cost of operations into Apptio.
Role Overview
This role sits within the Technology Business Management (TBM) team supporting Infrastructure & Operations (I&O). TBM provides a structured way of connecting technology spend to the services, platforms, applications, and business outcomes it supports.
The role supports the development and delivery of TBM outputs, including cost transparency views, service and product costings, cost drivers, allocation logic, and insight that helps stakeholders understand where technology costs sit, what drives them, and how they can be managed.
This is a hands-on modelling and analysis role suited to someone who enjoys turning complex financial and operational data into clear, usable outputs that support decision-making across Technology, Finance, and Service teams.
Key Responsibilities
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.
