Company Description
At S&W, we help our clients thrive by simplifying the complex, illuminating new paths, and shaping solutions that make a difference. As one of the UK’s top 10 fastest-growing accountancy firms, we have been a trusted partner since 1881—helping businesses and individuals meet challenges and seize opportunities across generations.
Built on expertise and driven by ambition, we provide a comprehensive range of services, including tax and accountancy, advisory and assurance, corporate finance, and restructuring. We are defined by our purpose—to help navigate challenges, unlock potential, and achieve the extraordinary.
What will you be doing?
As part of a leading global Monitoring Trustee practice, you will manage complex compliance projects and act as the eyes and ears of competition authorities, overseeing multinational companies’ implementation of structural and behavioural remedies. You will lead multidisciplinary teams, produce regular reports for authorities, and work on high‑profile cases across jurisdictions including the European Commission, CMA, FTC, and SAMR. Your portfolio will span Big Tech and sectors such as financial services, aviation, consumer goods, and utilities.
Responsibilities
As Monitoring Trustee Services Manager, your responsibilities will include among others:
- Managing compliance projects related to implementing merger, antitrust, and state aid remedies, including structural and behavioural commitments.
- Overseeing divestiture processes (suitable purchaser assessments, business viability reviews, hold‑separate/ring‑fencing) and monitoring conduct, access, pricing, and FRAND‑related obligations.
- Preparing periodic reports for competition authorities and liaising with parties/advisors to ensure effective communication and balanced information gathering.
- Reviewing party and third‑party submissions, identifying compliance risks early, escalating issues appropriately, and coordinating stakeholders with differing objectives.
- Supporting practice growth by maintaining quality standards, identifying business development opportunities, attending networking events, and contributing to client engagement efforts.
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.
