Join a firmwide team accelerating our data, analytics, and AI journey through highly governed, high-impact initiatives. In this role, you will help define how data is made available to power new products and AI models at scale. You will partner across lines of business and corporate functions to design architecture, toolchains, user-centric processes, and control frameworks that improve how data is developed and deployed—safely, efficiently, and at scale.

As a Vice President for Strategy Lead for Data Development Lifecycle (DDLC) in the Firmwide Chief Data Office, you will lead the development and execution of new architecture, toolchains, user-centric design, and control frameworks that transform the firm’s data development process from concept to delivery.

  • Partner with technology leaders to develop a firmwide reference architecture supporting data development and testing in controlled environments
  • Partner with risk management and controls to develop a control framework for managing data risks
  • Manage end-to-end delivery of changes to key platforms and toolchains supporting DDLC—from proof of concept through deployment
  • Collaborate and align with architects, data engineers, and technologists to achieve business outcomes
  • Identify opportunities for continuous development and improvement of the DDLC, ensuring changes are done safely and at scale
  • Demonstrate self-motivation and tenacity, working with a high degree of independence
  • Develop executive-level presentation decks, documents, and white papers to communicate complex concepts and recommendations
  • Communicate effectively across diverse stakeholders in decision-making and strategy implementation
  • Work in a highly collaborative, matrixed environment to build consensus
  • Assist in identifying, escalating, and mitigating project risks that could impair execution of the strategy

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.
