IT Service Manager | £80,000–£90,000 | London
I'm looking for an experienced IT Service Manager to join a well-established technology team in a critical financial infrastructure firm.
About the Role
This is a broad ITSM role, best suited to someone who enjoys getting under the skin of how technology and services work.
Key Responsibilities
You'll be working across:
- Service management
- Incident management
- Problem management
- Major/complex technology services
Working closely with technology teams and business stakeholders
The technology environment is sophisticated and high-profile, including responsibility for some of the organisation's core electronic trading technology.
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Skills and Qualities
You'll be someone who is naturally curious, technically capable, and comfortable asking questions and getting to the root of problems.
- You don't need to be a developer or write code, but you should have a good understanding of how technology fits together and be able to have credible conversations with technical teams.
I'm particularly interested in people with broad ITSM experience across service, incident, and problem management. This isn't a role for someone whose experience is predominantly incident management.
