Job Description
Data Management and Strategy Graduate Scheme
Imagine playing a key role in building a data-driven future to Help Britain Prosper.
Why Join Us?
We’re the UK’s biggest digital bank and you’ll be supporting over 22 million digitally active customers. We’re investing over £3bn in our people, technology, and data, to drive positive change, and our focus is on green finance and sustainable products to deliver a better future for everyone.
Data is critical to our vision, helping us to improve the way we do things and to better serve our customers. It’s a brilliant time to join us.
Kickstart Your Career
On our Data Management and Strategy scheme, you’ll be hands-on with real responsibilities from day one. You’ll make data the driving force behind our Group’s future by setting up essential controls, ensuring trust and safety, and helping build a data-driven culture.
This scheme goes beyond tech skills, and dives into strategic data management. You’ll tackle complex challenges, craft innovative strategies, and drive real, sustainable growth. If you’re obsessed with data and its possibilities, this is your moment.
What We’re Looking For
- Strategic thinking and problem-solving skills
- Collaboration and communication abilities
- Curiosity and a love of learning
- Data management experience is a plus but not essential
What You’ll Learn
Over two years, you’ll be immersed in our data management principles and strategic frameworks. Start with a bootcamp to quickly get up to speed with our Group and why data is fundamental for our future and how we evolve to support our customers. Then, undertake two placements to develop core skills.
You’ll be matched up with a buddy or mentor to support you and offer guidance throughout the scheme, and you’ll have access to technical and business-aligned training, including platforms such as Viva Learning and Learning Management systems, to further help your development.
With opportunities for extracurricular activities to expand your skills and experience across the bank, and with introductions to colleague networks, you’ll make great connections to further your career.
The Work You Could Be Doing
- Setting up and implementing data management policies and procedures.
- Modernising and standardising data management approaches.
- Collecting, aggregating, and integrating data from various sources.
- Applying analytics to extract insights for strategic decisions.
- Monitoring and reporting on data-driven outcomes.
- Creating dashboards, reports, and presentations to share insights.
- Collaborating with other teams to support their data needs.
- Identifying and addressing data vulnerabilities.
