The Norven Founding Fellowship — Senior Risk Leaders
An invitation to a small number of the most senior risk leaders in the market · London / UK-wide remote · Founding · Remunerated per engagement
There are rare moments when a new professional standard is set — and a small group of people put their name to it before the rest of the market follows. This is one of them.
Norven is building the independent authority layer for AI-era trust: independent, evidence-backed judgement, signed by a named expert, on whether a consequential AI deployment decision was defensible. Not certification, not legal advice — the considered, bounded opinion of a person whose name carries weight, designed to stand in the file a board or a supervisor will one day examine.
We are, in confidence, convening the founding Fellows — chief risk officers, chief compliance officers and former regulators — to shape that standard and lend it their authority. Fellowship is selective. It is a paid, founding engagement: remunerated per engagement, never salaried and never on retainer, with founding equity for core members — designed to sit alongside, not compete with, a serious executive or board portfolio. An opinion is only independent if the person giving it does not depend on the next one.
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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
A signature is only worth what protects it. Every Fellow appointment is individually gated — conflict clearance engagement by engagement, independent quality review before anything is signed — and the professional-indemnity and reliance architecture is being designed now with specialist counsel and Lloyd's-market advisers. Nothing is signed until those gates pass, and we say so plainly. A reasoned decline is a first-class outcome here, and the fee is identical either way.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
It will suit someone who has carried ultimate accountability for risk at a systemically important institution; who has sat across the table from the PRA, the FCA, the ECB or the Fed; and who recognises — earlier than most — that "who independently checked this, and signed that it was defensible?" is about to be asked of AI decisions everywhere. The founding Fellows will be among those who answer it.
If that is you, I would welcome a discreet conversation — message Mohammed Mirza, Founder, directly, or apply with a short note on the most consequential deployment decision you were ever accountable for.
