You're stepping into a fast growing data environment and owning the architecture from the ground up.
This is a UK-based European mid-market private equity firm, backing entrepreneurial management teams across technology, healthcare and financial services. The data and product capability is growing, and there's a genuine appetite to do this properly.
You'll be sitting as number two to the Director of Technology, which means real influence, real ownership, and a direct line into how data shapes the business going forward. You're not inheriting a finished platform. You're defining the roadmap, professionalising what exists, and building something modern that the whole firm can rely on.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Day to day, you'll be designing and delivering enterprise data strategy, building out cloud data platforms on Azure, and bringing together siloed data sources into something coherent and scalable. You'll be hands-on with the engineering while also advising at a strategic level, working across multiple business functions and bringing stakeholders with you. This is the kind of role where your decisions actually stick.
The environment is hybrid, three days in the office and two from home. It's a permanent position with senior exposure from day one.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
When it comes to what you'll bring, you'll have strong data architecture experience across modern cloud platforms, a track record of building and optimising data lakes or data platforms, and solid hands-on capability with Azure, SQL and Python. You'll know your way around ELT and ETL pipelines and you'll have worked with enterprise data governance frameworks. A background in financial services or a related environment will serve you well here.
