We're looking for an experienced Pensions Data Consulting Director to manage client engagements, develop innovative solutions and drive the continued growth of our market-leading pensions data consulting practice. This is a senior, client-facing role requiring deep pensions consulting experience, strong commercial acumen and the ability to build trusted relationships with pension managers, trustees and key decision-makers.

  • Develop and execute client data strategies, including benefit rectifications, that deliver measurable value and strong commercial outcomes.
  • Drive business development activity, identifying opportunities to expand relationships and introduce new solutions and services.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring successful delivery, quality outcomes and strong financial performance.
  • Work collaboratively with administrators, actuaries, legal advisers, technology specialists and external suppliers to deliver integrated client solutions.
  • Coach and mentor colleagues whilst contributing to the continued growth and development of the Data Solutions practice.
  • Promote innovation, best practice and new ideas across our pensions data consulting services.

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.
