About This Opportunity
Would you like to help Commercial Banking grow safely and sustainably by strengthening its control environment?
We’re looking for a Manager to join our Chief Controls Office team, supporting Commercial Banking Coverage. Coverage teams work directly with commercial customers, helping them achieve their goals. You’ll work in partnership with these teams to manage their controls, respond to risk events and identify practical improvements.
You’ll provide clear analysis, advice and guidance tailored to senior business partners. The role offers scope to improve how we use data, reporting, automation and artificial intelligence across our risk and control activity.
In this role, you’ll:
- Help Commercial Banking Coverage teams understand, maintain and improve their control environment.
- Manage existing controls and support the creation, improvement or retirement of controls as business processes change.
- Manage operational risk events and related actions through to resolution, identifying where controls need to be introduced or improved.
- Analyse risk and control information, identifying trends, issues and opportunities for improvement.
- Prepare and present clear reporting for the leadership team, committees and governance forums.
- Support investigations and thematic reviews, using evidence to assess issues and recommend proportionate actions.
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.

- Knowledge of Commercial Banking, customer coverage or relationship management.
- Experience creating or analysing management information using Power BI.
- Experience managing operational risk events, control assessments or related actions.
