- Lead end-to-end execution of quantitative research projects, applying descriptive and inferential statistical techniques and writing reproducible analysis code as needed
- Translate ambiguous or conflicting research findings into clear, actionable insights and recommendations that inform product and design decisions
- Develop compelling data visualizations and presentations that communicate research findings to cross-functional stakeholders including product managers, designers, engineers, and leadership
- Collaborate with data science and analytics partners to integrate behavioral data with attitudinal research, building a holistic understanding of user experience
- Manage research projects of moderate-to-high cross-functional complexity, proactively identifying risks, managing timelines, and communicating progress to stakeholders
- Contribute to team-level research strategy by identifying gaps in user understanding and proposing research agendas that address short, mid, and long-term product goals
- Leverage AI tools to streamline research workflows, including analysis, synthesis, and documentation, while ensuring responsible and ethical use of AI in research practice
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.
