A well-established, market-leading Wealth Management firm is looking for an experienced Compliance professional to step into the role of Head of Compliance and lead its compliance function.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Compliance Manager, Senior Compliance Manager or Deputy Head of Compliance looking to progress into a Head of Compliance position within a growing, adviser-focused business.

  • Delivering compliance and regulatory training to Financial Advisers and Paraplanners.
  • Leading compliance monitoring, regulatory reporting and policy development.
  • Building strong relationships with senior leadership, advisers and the FCA.
  • Supporting the business with pragmatic, commercial compliance solutions.
  • Championing the use of AI agents, automation and compliance technology to improve the design, delivery and consistency of monitoring programmes, control testing, root cause analysis and management information.

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.
