What you’ll be doing:

Are you ready to build strong client relationships, identify growth opportunities and make an impact across a diverse corporate portfolio?

The Portfolio Coverage Team sits within Corporate & Institutional Coverage and supports a wide range of corporate clients across the UK. As an Associate, you'll work closely with Relationship Managers, Product, Coverage and Risk teams to help deliver tailored solutions, strengthen client relationships and identify new business opportunities.

You'll support the management of a large and diverse portfolio of trading clients, helping to identify and understand customer needs, analyse trends, manage risk and deliver excellent, sustainable client outcomes, including complex exits. Along the way, you'll develop your knowledge of corporate banking while working in a collaborative, high-performing team that values initiative, creativity and partnership.

Why join us?

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group an excellent place for everyone. Including you.

What we’re looking for?

  • 2+ years experience of corporate or commercial banking with an understanding of products and services used by corporate clients
  • Experience supporting Relationship Managers or client-facing teams with corporate or larger business clients.
  • Knowledge of credit, conduct and operational risk processes.
  • An understanding of risk management, customer needs and operational/service delivery in a financial services or regulated environment.
  • Strong stakeholder skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with clients and across internal teams such as Coverage, Product, Risk and Operations.
  • Good analytical skills, with experience using information, client data or research to identify themes, trends, issues and opportunities.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of explaining information clearly and supporting strong client outcomes.
  • A proactive, organised and resilient approach, with the ability to manage priorities and work effectively in a collaborative team.

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.
