Manager - Consumer Lending Capital Optimisation

LOCATION(S): Leeds, Halifax, Chester, Bristol

HOURS: Full-time

WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites. Colleagues with disabilities can be supported with workplace adjustments including hybrid working expectations in line with our Flexibility Works policy.

What you'll be doing

This is a great opportunity to join our Consumer Lending Capital Optimisation team, helping us improve capital efficiency and deliver stronger outcomes for customers across a large and diverse portfolio.

As a Manager in the team, you'll work across a broad range of initiatives, including:

  • Product design
  • Customer strategy
  • Portfolio optimisation
  • Risk transfer

You'll help analyse capital impacts, turn data into clear insights, and support decisions that shape how we optimise performance across Consumer Lending. You'll also work closely with colleagues across Product, Risk, Finance and Treasury, building a strong understanding of how different areas come together to deliver better business and customer outcomes.

You'll be part of a collaborative, multi-skilled team that works in an agile way, giving you the opportunity to build experience across different areas while contributing to meaningful capital optimisation initiatives. This role would suit someone who enjoys solving problems, working with others, and developing their technical and commercial understanding in a supportive environment.

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.
