Due Diligence Researcher
12-month FTC based in Twickenham, offering a salary of £35,000pa, with one day per week working from home available upon successful completion of training (typically after three months)
We are working with a leading investigations and intelligence organisation to recruit a Due Diligence Researcher on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in due diligence, corporate intelligence, OSINT, investigations or research who enjoys analysing complex information and producing high-quality written reports.
The Role
You will conduct global due diligence investigations into individuals and organisations, using open-source intelligence (OSINT), proprietary databases and a variety of information sources to assess reputation, legitimacy and potential risk.
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.
