Hear from our team about what it's like working at Policy Expert ✨
Your day to day
You'll be one of our two Lead Data Analysts. You'll work alongside Andy (our other Lead Data Analyst), as well as Jenny and Juanma, to complete our analytics leadership team.
As one of our most senior analysts, you'll bring deep technical skill and a real feel for how analytics shapes the business. You'll make the team better, supporting everyone around you to do their best work. Around 60 to 70% of your time goes on hands-on work. The rest goes on peer review and coaching.
- Partner with a business team on projects with real commercial impact. For example, one of the team built price elasticity tools that help Trading spot pricing gaps and opportunities.
- Meet those partners halfway, connecting them with the data they need. They know their numbers inside out, but not our data platform.
- Help set our standards for how we code, review and share our work.
- Build reusable workflows and tools, and bring in new ones that help the team work better.
- Help us use AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT well, checking accuracy so people can trust the results.
- Manage and coach two analysts, supporting them to grow and deliver work that matters.
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.
