Payments Performance & Optimisation Specialist

The Role

A new opportunity to improve payment performance, strengthen controls and deliver better customer outcomes within a high-volume payments environment.

Working with Finance, Technology, Product, Fraud and external payment partners, you will monitor payment performance, analyse transaction data and drive operational improvements.

  • Monitor payment performance, controls and issues, escalating risks and deterioration.
  • Analyse payment data to identify trends, issues and improvement opportunities.
  • Investigate payment and operational issues and coordinate resolution.
  • Support payment platform changes, testing, reconciliation and implementation.
  • Support compliance with relevant regulatory, payment scheme and PCI requirements.
  • Provide payments expertise across business and technology teams.

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.
