Are you passionate about data and ready to make a real impact?
We’re looking for a SAS Data Engineer to join the small but dynamic team in SAS Data Engineering that is responsible for maintaining and updating regulatory models in the production environment and providing a trusted operational run service to deliver critical data for month-end reporting, whilst ensuring the quality of the data that underpins these models.
Ahead lies the rewarding challenge of integrating Virgin Money data into these established processes and working with Retail Credit Risk to develop Group models upon successful integration, as well as the opportunity to participate in other key data-related projects.
Combining accountabilities for delivery, continuous improvement, and automation, this role will provide the opportunity to work on our new cloud warehouse as part of the SAS estate along with some cutting-edge technologies, industry-leading vendors, and help shape and drive the next phase of the strategy execution.
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.
