SQL Developer (Business Intelligence) – Financial Services
Salary: £35,000–£45,000
Location: Central London (5 days per week in office, moving to a hybrid pattern once meeting targets)
About the Role:
We're working with a growing financial services business looking to add a SQL-focused developer to their central Business Intelligence team. You'll be writing and optimising SQL day to day, working with data that isn't sat neatly in a warehouse, and using logic and structure to make sense of it. Business requirements are typically external reports, so strong communication and stakeholder management skills are key.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
