Risk & Conduct SME – PRIVATE CLIENT WEALTH
INTRODUCTION
Investec is progressing a significant growth agenda within its UK Private Client franchise to deliver our ambition to scale a high-touch, advice-led proposition that combines private banking, wealth capabilities, digital access and the wider One Investec ecosystem. As part of this, the business is developing a broader UK Wealth proposition that will require robust, client-centred operational foundations across onboarding, servicing, fulfilment, controls and governance.
This is a 1st Line risk & conduct SME contract role for someone who can provide specialist risk, regulatory and compliance input into the end-to-end design and launch of the new UK Wealth proposition. You will work as part of a small central build squad, partnering with proposition, platform, service, risk, compliance, legal, governance and operational stakeholders to ensure the target client experience is designed in line with regulatory requirements, Consumer Duty expectations, conduct risk principles and 1st Line control ownership from day one.
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.
