Chief of Staff - Technology

Financial Services | Hybrid

I'm working with a financial services organisation embarking on a significant period of growth and technology maturity. This is a rare opportunity to become the CTO's trusted right hand, helping shape the technology function, introduce greater governance and operational rigour, and create the space for the CTO to focus on strategic leadership.

The role centres on driving accountability, governance, executive reporting, leadership alignment, and operational effectiveness across the technology function.

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'll operate at the heart of the technology leadership team, bringing structure, pace and visibility to a complex environment while influencing senior stakeholders and helping mature the overall technology estate.

We're keen to speak with individuals who can demonstrate:

  • Proven experience operating as a Chief of Staff to a CTO, CIO or equivalent technology executive.
  • A track record of implementing governance, reporting frameworks and leadership operating rhythms.
  • Strong board and executive stakeholder management experience.
  • The ability to influence and challenge senior technology leaders constructively.
  • Experience within financial services or another regulated environment.
  • A software engineering background (highly desirable).
  • The credibility and judgement to operate autonomously on behalf of a CTO.
