About Us
We're DF Capital - a specialist bank providing award-winning commercial finance, retail finance, and savings products to consumers and small businesses.
Based in Manchester, we serve thousands of customers across the UK and into Europe, supporting their ambitions with tailored financial solutions.
We help our customers realise their ambitions by doing things differently - combining the agility and innovation of a specialist lender with the security and service standards of a regulated bank. Whether it's flexible lending structures or straightforward savings options, we focus on what matters most to our customers.
In 2025, we launched DF Capital Retail Finance - a subsidiary of DF Capital Bank Limited - to offer specialist hire purchase solutions to retail customers.
Our goal is simple: to do the absolute best for our customers, our communities, and each other.
Your New Role
DF Capital is seeking two ambitious Graduate Change Analysts to join our Change Team and support the delivery of business, operational, regulatory and technology change across the Bank.
This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience across the full change lifecycle, including business analysis, project delivery, governance, testing, business readiness, implementation and benefits realisation.
Unlike a traditional graduate scheme, successful candidates will be expected to contribute to live change initiatives from day one. You will receive coaching and support from experienced change professionals, but will also be expected to take ownership of your development, proactively build your knowledge and demonstrate initiative when faced with new challenges.
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.
