In this role, you will implement risk-based data collection, cleaning, review, reconciliation, and quality activities across electronic data capture (EDC) and external data sources, while representing Clinical Data Management on the Core Trial Team for assigned studies. You will lead the project management of all study-level data management deliverables, including timeline planning, resource coordination, risk identification, issue resolution, and stakeholder communication across internal and external partners.

Beyond study execution, you will contribute to the evolution of data management standards, SOPs, best practices, and process improvements, including the effective use of automation, advanced analytics, and AI-enabled solutions where appropriate, while sharing knowledge and supporting the development of colleagues within Clinical Data Management.
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.
