This is a high-impact opportunity to work at the centre of product performance and commercial decision-making.
You’ll play a key role in analysing and optimising lending portfolios, using data to uncover insights, support strategy, and contribute to improving profitability across a growing suite of products and partnerships.
How you’ll contribute
- Monitor, interpret and optimise the performance and profitability of new accounts acquired across our range of lending products, including our new embedded finance product for Argos.
- You'll become an SME on product performance and lifetime valuations, inspiring change within the organisation by crafting the data environment and analytical tools to explain performance.
- This involves spotting opportunities for optimisation, articulating the problem to the business, and driving your own recommendations to delivery.
- Support the build and roll-out of new lending strategies by identifying patterns in data and translating them into clear, actionable insights for our NewDay brands and merchant portfolios, including John Lewis.
- Produce, maintain and analyse performance curves within valuation models at product, cohort and segment level, using them to assess the net present value of lending cohorts and identify key drivers of performance and optimisation opportunities.
- Work cross-functionally with enterprise partnerships and acquisition teams to build a shared understanding of product performance, helping surface insights and drive better optimisation decisions across NewDay and our retail partners, delivering strategic initiative projects and full delivery in a timely manner with the appropriate quality, control & commercial impact.
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.
