The bar is high – bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and we'll give you the platform to define what comes next.
Join us at IG – the future gets built here.
Your team
The Desktop Services Team is responsible for delivering a reliable, secure, and high-quality end-user computing experience across the business.

We support a diverse technology estate covering Windows and macOS devices, collaboration and audiovisual services, identity and endpoint management platforms, and a range of business-critical applications. The team plays a key role in enabling productivity, supporting trading and corporate users, and continuously improving how IT services are delivered.
Your role in the Team’s Success
As a Desktop Services Engineer, you are a frontline ambassador for IT, ensuring colleagues receive timely, high-quality support and that issues are resolved efficiently and professionally. You’ll be trusted to take ownership of incidents and requests, advocate for the end user, and work collaboratively with escalation teams to restore service quickly.

What You’ll Do
- Provide on-site desktop support in the London office and remote support to users in other locations
- Triage and resolve incidents and service requests via ServiceNow, phone, email, chat, and monitoring tools
- Troubleshoot end-user issues and aim to resolve them at first contact, where possible
- Support Windows and macOS desktop environments, including device builds, deployments, maintenance, and upgrades
- Administer and support core desktop technologies such as Active Directory, Entra ID, endpoint management, and collaboration tools
- Assist with workstation testing, rollouts, audio-visual systems, and meeting room technology

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.
