Head of Risk & Compliance | Financial Services | London
I’m working with a growing financial services business in London that is looking to appoint a Head of Risk & Compliance.
This is a senior opportunity for an experienced risk and compliance professional who can take ownership of the function and work closely with senior stakeholders across the business.
The role will include:
- Leading the risk and compliance function, taking ownership of the company’s risk and compliance framework and ensuring it remains effective and aligned with regulatory requirements.
- Providing practical advice to senior stakeholders, overseeing compliance monitoring and risk assessments, managing regulatory relationships and supporting the development of robust policies, procedures, and governance.
- Identifying emerging risks, ensuring appropriate mitigation is in place, and helping to embed a strong risk and compliance culture across the business.
- Providing risk insight and strategic recommendations to the Board, supporting effective oversight and informed decision-making at senior governance level.
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.
