The Role:
As a Senior Data Analyst focusing on Marketing Sciences, you will play a critical role in bridging the gap between data and commercial strategy. You will work within DataBricks and Google Cloud Platform, partnering closely with the marketing, personalisation and commercial teams.

- Present campaign performance, analytical findings, and strategic recommendations to a range of non-technical audiences.
- Proactively identify data-driven opportunities for personalisation and improvements to the customer journey.
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.
