Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Compensation: £40,000 / year

Description

Advanced Supply Chain Group offer a complete end-to-end supply chain service, from source to shelf, covering all aspects of supply chain management, global logistics, fulfilment, and value-added services, allowing our customers to maximise the opportunities that exist in today’s technology-enabled marketplace. Using our unique intelligent supply chain model, we design innovative solutions to complex challenges, unlock new opportunities, and speed up and streamline existing processes by removing complexity from the supply chain. It all adds up to providing a service that is “Better, Faster, Cheaper” than our competitors.

Our core values drive everything we do. We believe in promoting a supportive environment for our colleagues, delivering exceptional service to our customers, contributing to the community, and working towards a more sustainable environment. If you share these values and are passionate about making a positive impact, we'd love to have you on our team.

About the role

Numbers only matter when they change what happens next - and that’s exactly where you come in. As our Performance & Insight Analyst, you’ll be the person who turns a busy, fast-moving returns operation into a clear story people can act on, spotting the trends, sizing the opportunities and steering better decisions across the operation.

This is a role with real influence and real visibility. One day you’re building the dashboards and performance packs that everyone relies on; the next you’re digging into a performance issue to find the root cause, quantifying a cost-saving opportunity, or presenting your findings to senior stakeholders and customers. You’ll partner with teams right across Operations, Finance, Technology, Planning and Commercial - and you’ll get to see your recommendations become genuine, measurable improvements.

If you love working with data, telling the story behind it and using it to actually make things better, you’ll feel right at home here.

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.
