Requirements of the role
Ofcom’s Economics and Analytics Group (EAG) is a dynamic, international team of around 120 applied microeconomists, data analysts, behavioural economists and finance experts. As experts in evidence, we provide thought leadership, technical and sector expertise, and financial and economic insights to shape policy and regulatory decisions.
Within EAG, the Financial Analytics team provides financial analysis, forensic accounting and modelling expertise across all sectors regulated by Ofcom, including telecoms, post, broadcasting and online safety. This role will primarily support the Online Safety Group (OSG), helping to ensure regulatory and enforcement activities are underpinned by robust financial evidence, sound judgement and effective financial governance. There may also be opportunities to support other areas of Ofcom, subject to business need.
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.
