Head of CASS Oversight
Our client, a Global Brokerage firm, are looking to recruit a Head of CASS oversight to build and run the CASS framework and perform the CASS operational oversight function for an FCA-authorised investment firm that holds both client money and custody assets.
Main Responsibilities
- Own the firm’s CASS framework and policy suite across CASS 6, 7, 7A, 8, 9 and 10 — including the breaches policy and underlying procedures — kept aligned to actual, not intended, practice.
- Own internal and external client money reconciliations: frequency, methodology, evidencing, and funding any shortfall from the firm’s own resources by the required deadline.
- Manage client money implications of the dealing model — matched principal settlement flows, the DvP window, any reliance on the commercial settlement system exemption, and strict separation of house and client positions.
- Design and deliver role-tailored CASS training and maintain awareness across all staff touching client money or assets.
- Direct experience performing the CASS operational oversight function.
- Hands-on ownership of a CASS framework at a firm holding both client money and custody assets, including reconciliations, custody record checks, breach identification, shortfall funding and remediation to closure.
- The annual client assets audit under SUP 3.10 from the firm’s side, including managing a qualified report through remediation.
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.
