Are you passionate about mastering data at scale and shaping how an organisation manages its most critical information? At Specsavers, we’re looking for a Principal MDM Architect to lead the design, evolution, and delivery of our global Master Data Management capability, at the heart of our data strategy.

About the Role

This is a fantastic opportunity to shape how master data is created, governed, and consumed across the business. You’ll act as the technical authority for MDM, building scalable, multi-domain capabilities that support both operational excellence and customer experience. We’re particularly interested in candidates with proven experience delivering Customer MDM within complex, enterprise environments.

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.

  • Work closely with product and business stakeholders to deliver flexible, scalable solutions aligned to real needs.

Requirements
