Job Description

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced and insightful leader to join us as Head of Pricing & Performance.

In this role, you'll lead our pricing, portfolio performance, and forecasting activity across savings and mortgages, helping to shape decisions that deliver great outcomes for our members while supporting the Society's long-term success. You'll work closely with colleagues across the business to turn data, market insight, and customer understanding into effective pricing strategies and commercial recommendations.

As part of the Commercial, Product & Place leadership team, you'll play a key role in guiding performance, supporting strategic decision-making, and fostering a collaborative, data-informed approach to commercial excellence. You'll also lead and develop a talented team, creating an environment where people can grow, contribute, and perform at their best.

  • Enjoys using insight and analysis to inform decisions and solve complex challenges.
  • Can balance customer outcomes, commercial objectives, and regulatory requirements.
  • Builds trusted relationships and works effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.
  • Brings a thoughtful and inclusive leadership style, supporting and developing others to succeed.
  • Is comfortable working with ambiguity and translating complex information into clear recommendations and actions.
  • Shares our commitment to delivering fair, sustainable, and customer-focused outcomes.

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.
