Are you a senior analyst who thinks strategically about data and can influence how an organisation uses it to make decisions? Are you someone who can step into an established portfolio of work at pace and set the bar for how we manage data quality, governance and insight? If you've operated at Principal or Lead Analyst level in fintech or a regulated, data-heavy industry, and you're energised by moving between hands-on analysis to acting as a strategic partner to the business, this could be the role.

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.

Stakeholder Leadership & Communication

  • Act as a trusted voice and influencer across the business, engaging stakeholders directly to shape organisational data strategy and decision-making.

Data Governance & Strategy

  • Provide strategic oversight of data management across Modulr, define governance standards and policy, and contribute to the long-term data strategy.

Data Quality & Standards

  • Set and champion organisational standards for data modelling, quality assurance, validation, and enrichment — and develop best practice frameworks that others follow.

Data Visualisation & Insight Communication

  • Set the standard for how we visualise and communicate data insights, leading the strategic direction of the practice across teams.

  • Mentor and develop analysts on the team, building capability and raising the quality of analytical work during a period of leadership transition.

Who You Are

What you'll need

  • Proven experience operating at Principal, Lead or Senior Analyst level, ideally within fintech, payments or another regulated, data-intensive industry.
  • A track record of translating complex data into insight that genuinely shapes data-driven decisions across an organisation.
  • Deep expertise in data modelling, quality assurance and visualisation, with the confidence and judgement to set standards rather than just follow them.
