If you are good with people and data, this post offers an excellent opportunity to further develop your career at a world leading institution. We require a part time manager of our HESA Student (Data Futures), Graduate Outcomes, Aggregate Offshore and Discover Uni statutory returns, driving efficient delivery with real time data quality.
The ARD Systems team is a central team within the Division and School. Its role is to develop and support the LSE’s Student Record Systems and the Schoolwide Salesforce CRM platform which underpin the key processes in the student lifecycle, from prospective applicant through to alumni, and other constituent processes across the university. Team members liaise with colleagues throughout the institution to provide solutions to improve business processes for efficiency gains, to improve our constituents experience (particularly our students), and to meet statutory requirements. In doing so, they collaboratively deliver on many of the School’s strategic goals. Key to this is our data, and statutory returns data is our top priority.
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.
