Solihull – Hybrid (3 days in the office)
We’re looking for an IT Operational Control professional to join a growing IT Governance team within a leading Financial Services organisation.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in IT Risk, Controls, Governance, Operational Risk, or Incident Management who enjoys working with people and coordinating activity across a business.
What will you be doing?
You’ll play a key role in ensuring IT risks, incidents, and controls are properly managed and followed through.
This is not a hands-on technical IT role. You won’t be expected to fix technical issues yourself. Instead, you’ll work closely with IT teams and Subject Matter Experts to:
- Coordinate and track IT incidents through to closure
- Arrange stakeholder meetings and follow up on root causes and remediation actions
- Support quarterly IT control testing
- Review evidence and commentary provided by SMEs and challenge where information is unclear
- Track and chase action plans, ensuring deadlines are met
- Escalate overdue actions and control issues where required
- Prepare reporting for IT Governance Committees
- Support IT audit activity and evidence gathering
- Help ensure IT procedures are maintained and regularly reviewed
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.
