Join us as a Financial Reporting Risk Relationship Manager

This is an opportunity to work with a range of teams to effectively apply Financial Reporting methodology.

You’ll be able to build and maintain a wide network of stakeholders of varying degrees of seniority.

It’s a chance to have a tangible effect on our function, put your existing skills to the test, and advance your career.

You'll attend the office in person a minimum of two days per week, with the rest of your time working from home.

What you'll do

Under the guidance of the External Compliance Senior Manager, you’ll be helping to develop the Financial Reporting Risk SOX 404, regulatory, and SAO governance frameworks and strategy for the bank. This will include scoping, documentation, quality assurance over control testing, assessing issues, liaising with internal and external auditors, and working with colleagues and experts across the team.

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.
