Join us as a Controls Assurance Analyst for Financial Health and Support

This is an opportunity to be at the forefront of protecting the organisation and supporting with the design, development, and undertaking of assurance activity on an end-to-end basis.

In this collaborative role, you'll work with a number of risk and control teams to identify risks and address any identified gaps.

You'll build your network by supporting management with incidents and issues raised through front line customer contact.

This is a remote-first role, so you'll spend most of your time at home, working with your team digitally and coming into the office twice a month when you need to collaborate closely with your colleagues.

We're offering this role for a period of 12 months.

What you'll do

This role will see you delivering tasks and activities related to the ongoing management of risk issues within the business. You'll plan and analyse operational conduct, credit and regulatory risks, and identify related issues and areas requiring improvement.

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.
