Group Chief Operating Officer
London
We are seeking an exceptional leader to join our Executive team as Group Chief Operating Officer. This is a unique opportunity to drive transformational change within a dynamic and fast-growing wealth and financial services organisation during a critical period of consolidation and growth.
The Role
You will lead all operational functions across the business, overseeing sales and marketing, technology infrastructure, and change delivery.

This role sits at the heart of our M&A strategy—helping us integrate acquisitions seamlessly and establish ourselves as market leaders in this space.
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.
