  • Partner closely with Compliance, Onboarding, Operations, and Senior Management to ensure smooth delivery
  • Identify new verticals and partnerships (e.g. PSPs, funds, brokers, fintechs)
  • Maintain deep knowledge of IBAN, payments, safeguarding, AML/KYC, and regulatory consideration
  • Represent Ballinger Group externally at industry events and client meetings

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.
