About us

At Insightful Technology, we build intelligent solutions that help organisations manage risk, protect data and stay compliant in an ever-changing world. Our products power global enterprises, financial institutions and regulated organisations.

If you want to join a team building extraordinary technical solutions in a compelling working environment where ideas move quickly, people support each other, and innovation is part of everyday life, you’ll feel right at home here.

Role overview

Particularly during the initial stage of the role, your primary focus will be the daily review of financial surveillance alerts. You will assess and classify alerts, examine the relevant data and supporting information, document your findings and escalate matters that require further investigation.

As your knowledge and experience develop, the role will expand to include data tagging, model verification, client reporting, process documentation and participation in client calls.

This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or early-career professional interested in financial markets, compliance, data analysis and machine learning.

Key responsibilities

  • Conducting the daily review, investigation and classification of financial surveillance alerts.
  • Examining alert data and supporting information to identify potentially unusual or suspicious activity.
  • Recording review outcomes accurately and escalating alerts that require further investigation.
  • Supporting consultancy work across exchanges, retail banks and private banks.
  • Reviewing and tagging data to support machine learning and surveillance model development.
  • Preparing detailed surveillance consultancy reports for clients using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
  • Identifying relevant findings, trends and potential areas of concern within surveillance data.
  • Supporting quality-assurance testing and verifying the accuracy of machine learning and large language models.
  • Assisting with the preparation and validation of training data used to retrain and improve models.
  • Participating in client calls and communicating findings clearly and professionally.
  • Creating and maintaining documentation for surveillance processes, methodologies and internal procedures.
  • Working closely with the existing analyst and wider Insightful Technology team.
  • Suggesting practical ways to improve the efficiency, accuracy and quality of the I360 service.
  • Supporting other analytical and reporting activities as the consultancy function grows.

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.
