Join our Business Intelligence team as a Lead Business Intelligence Specialist
and play a key role in delivering and maintaining high-quality Business Intelligence solutions for use across Business Services and COO. This is a specialist, hands-on role where you’ll combine strong BI expertise with technical guidance, governance and delivery skills to support effective reporting, analytics and insight-led decision making.
Working closely with business SMEs, metric or control owners and report producers, you’ll provide practical BI guidance and help translate business, regulatory and operational requirements into clear, deliverable reporting and analytics solutions. You’ll support effective prioritisation within agreed governance and delivery processes, ensuring work is focused on business value and delivered to a high standard.
You’ll design, develop and assure BI solutions using Power BI and wider Power Platform capabilities such as Power Apps and Power Automate, working with data platforms and established governance standards to ensure outputs are robust, reusable and aligned to business needs.

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.
