About Hanbury Strategy
Our mission is: “To build a team of exceptional people, who go the extra mile, to help companies with their biggest reputational, policy and regulatory challenges.”
Main Duties and Responsibilities
We are seeking an enthusiastic junior professional with a keen interest in financial services policy to join our growing team and support across a variety of projects.
You will work directly with colleagues at all levels of the company, allowing you to develop your skills with experienced professionals from across the worlds of politics, business, and media. You will be involved in a range of tasks and projects, which might include:

- Assessing the impact of legislation and regulation on some of the largest companies in the world. This will include topics such as banking, capital markets, crypto, artificial intelligence and sustainable finance.
- Contributing to the drafting of briefings, stakeholder maps, client updates and presentations.
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.
