Research Manager – Digital Experience | Financial Services | London (Hybrid)
We're partnering with a specialist data and analytics business that works with some of the UK and Europe's most prominent financial institutions. Their proprietary platform gives clients a definitive view of how their digital experiences compare, across products, journeys and competitors, and they turn that into strategic insight that shapes real investment decisions at the most senior levels.
They're looking for a Research Manager to join their London-based team.
The role
You'll lead end-to-end digital experience research programmes across a portfolio of financial services clients — from scoping and methodology through analysis, insight and executive-level presentation. You'll own senior client relationships, coach and develop junior researchers, and contribute to the evolution of the platform and methodology. You'll also play a role in identifying opportunities to grow accounts.
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.
