Who are we?
We’re Standard Life, a retirement specialist focused entirely on retirement savings and income. We champion the belief that everyone’s journey to and through retirement can be better, and for more than 200 years, we’ve been helping our customers plan and prepare for their financial futures.
Life today is increasingly complicated, uncertain and unpredictable. People move through different careers, face unexpected moments and navigate important choices. We offer our colleagues flexibility, trust and benefits that work for whatever life brings. In return we expect curiosity, connection, accountability and high standards. We make room for what matters - so you can bring your best, every day.
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.

The role
Within our Customer Services function we are focused on making sure our customers, through our external partners are at the heart of everything we do, ensuring we are operationally efficient and show integrity with every decision we take. As a department we care, take personal responsibility, and try to do the right thing at all times.
You will use your administrative skills to oversee and coordinate Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), ensuring requests are identified, escalated and supported through to completion, while maintaining regulatory compliance, managing stakeholder engagement and supporting delivery within GDPR timeframes. From an oversight and governance perspective, you will ensure the business can respond to DSARs effectively rather than fulfil them directly.
What We’re Looking For
- Broad knowledge of financial services, particularly Life and Pensions and an understanding of business operations
- Ability to apply appropriate processes and controls to ensure activity completed on time and to agreed standards
- Excellent organisational and analytical skills, including prioritisation, decision making, and appropriate escalation
- Effective management of stakeholders on impact timescales and customer outcomes
- Ideally have General Understanding of GDPR Act and Data Subject Rights
