We’re reshaping our Food business to broaden its appeal, protecting the magic our customers love while modernising everything else. That means outstanding quality, high sourcing standards, and market-leading innovation remain at our core, while we transform our supply chains, improve our stores, and deliver better value.
All the details
We’re looking for a Project Insights & Automation Lead to drive smarter, insight-led decision making across our M&S Foods project delivery teams. This role is all about building clear, trusted reporting and automating ways of working – moving the team away from manual, reactive reporting towards forward-looking insights that really shape decisions.
You’ll design and own Power BI dashboards that bring together data from multiple systems, automate processes using PowerApps and Power Automate, and explore how AI can be used to improve productivity and reporting quality. Acting as a bridge between data, systems and delivery teams, you’ll turn complex information into simple, leadership-ready insights that help the business focus on what matters most.
Due to high interest, this role may close earlier than advertised. We recommend applying as soon as possible.
What You’ll Do
- Build and own Power BI dashboards that provide clear, accurate and forward-looking visibility of delivery, risks and performance
- Translate complex data into simple, insight-led outputs that support decision-making rather than just reporting
- Identify and automate manual processes using PowerApps and Power Automate to reduce admin and improve efficiency
- Work closely with project managers and partners to understand challenges and design practical, user-friendly solutions
- Lead the use of AI tools to streamline reporting, summarise project status and improve team productivity
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.
