Principal Data Analyst

£95K - £105K

London hybrid

They are now looking for a Principal Data Analyst to lead a small analytics team and drive commercially impactful insight across a critical business domain.

The Opportunity

This is a high-ownership leadership role sitting at the intersection of analytics, commercial strategy, and operational performance. You will act as the key analytics partner for a core business function, helping stakeholders understand performance, identify optimisation opportunities, and make better strategic decisions through data.

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.
