Join us in Commercial & Institutional as a Business Risk Partner, Balance Sheet Management & Model Risk Management

Partner with senior business leaders to identify, assess, manage and report risk, supporting strategic objectives within risk appetite and a robust control environment

  • You’ll provide insight, constructive challenge and practical support across risk appetite, control effectiveness, governance, regulatory change and business transformation
  • Build valuable relationships across the organisation while helping shape a strong, proactive and commercially focused risk culture

What you’ll do

In this pivotal role, you’ll help drive the effective application of the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Framework (EWRMF), supporting activities across Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA), risk appetite, control effectiveness, issue management and risk event oversight. You’ll also support governance activities, providing reporting, escalation and decision-making insight across relevant business and risk forums.

Working closely with stakeholders across the business, you’ll promote a practical and commercially focused approach to risk management. We'll look to you to strengthen risk awareness, improve control effectiveness and support better outcomes for customers, colleagues and the business.

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.
