Job Description
Workforce Data & Operations Specialist - Global Technology
Location: Reading, London | Work Mode: Hybrid – 3 days onsite
Salary: Up to £75,000 p.a.
Contract Duration: 8-month contract
We’re hiring a Workforce Data & Operations Specialist to join a global technology organisation during an important period of business change.
This is a data-heavy, hands-on operational role supporting the Contingent Workforce Lead. You’ll be working with workforce data from multiple sources, identifying gaps and inconsistencies, reconciling records and ensuring information is accurate, complete and ready to be moved into the appropriate systems.
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You do not need to be a contingent workforce or M&A specialist.
What is important is that you’re highly confident working with complex data and understand the basic differences between permanent employees, temporary workers and contingent workers/contractors.
What you’ll be doing
- Gather, review, clean and validate workforce data from multiple sources.
- Use Excel to reconcile datasets, identify discrepancies and maintain accurate trackers.
- Review worker information including employment/engagement type, supplier, tenure, rates and contract dates.
- Identify missing, conflicting or inaccurate information and work with stakeholders to resolve it.
- Ensure workers are correctly identified as permanent employees, temporary workers, contingent workers or other engagement types.
- Support the migration and updating of worker information across HR and vendor-management systems.
- Work closely with the Contingent Workforce Lead, MSP, staffing suppliers and internal teams.
- Track onboarding, extensions, renewals, documentation and offboarding activity.
- Maintain weekly reporting, status trackers and issue logs.
- Escalate data quality, worker classification or compliance concerns where appropriate.
- Maintain clear, accurate and audit-ready workforce records throughout the transition.
