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.

You’ll be the vital link between data and decision-making, bringing stories to life through trends, patterns, and sharp analysis. Whether you’re engaging technical experts or non-technical stakeholders, you’ll make the complex simple, the data meaningful, and the insights impossible to ignore.
We’re big on flexible hybrid working. Our teams are based across Haywards Heath (West Sussex) and Salford Quays (Manchester). We primarily work from home but value collaboration, so we come together in person to keep ideas flowing, typically once or twice a quarter. Prefer being in the office more often? That works for us too.
Core skills we’re looking for to succeed in the role:
- Data Storytelling & Insight Generation: Ability to translate complex data into compelling narratives and actionable business insights.
- Analytical Mindset & Problem Solving: Passion for analysing and transforming data to help solve real business problems.
- Industry Price Comparison Expertise: Proven experience in data analysis or data storytelling with a focus on motor or home insurance price comparison data.
- Data Tools: Experience in SQL, DataBricks, Python and Power BI is advantageous alongside strong capability in manipulating large datasets.
- Stakeholder Management & Influencing: Ability to influence and support stakeholders, confidently managing expectations in a dynamic environment.
- Communication & Documentation: Strong verbal and written skills, with the ability to create clear, well-structured, and maintainable project documentation and analysis.
