About the Role

We are looking for an EDD Analysts to support our client on an upcoming regulatory remediation project, carrying out the review and assessment of client files. The role is well suited to someone with a solid grounding in financial crime and Enhanced Due Diligence, who is comfortable working with business and corporate clients, including higher risk customer types.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review client files, taking into account corporate structures, ownership and control details, and relevant risk indicators.
  • Investigate potential financial crime risks, drawing on internal systems and approved external sources.
  • Carry out Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), assessing factors such as sanctions exposure, bribery and corruption risk, complex structures, or adverse media.
  • Use sound, risk based judgement to decide whether identified risks are sufficiently mitigated to support onboarding, continuation, or exit.
  • Write clear, well structured rationales that explain each decision, so anyone reviewing the file afterwards can follow the reasoning without needing further context.
  • Record findings, risk assessments, and decisions in line with internal policy, audit, and regulatory standards.

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.
