- Lead the PCI DSS compliance programme, including annual assessment planning, QSA engagement, evidence coordination, audit preparation and follow-up of audit gaps or control improvements.
- Own the BAU compliance model, ensuring monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual PCI control activities are tracked, evidenced and aligned to current PCI DSS requirements.
- Review operational compliance evidence, including wireless scanning results, JML access reviews, ASV scan results, HLD / architecture changes, MORs, TRA outputs and supplier compliance evidence.
- Manage PCI scope, supplier assurance and governance documentation, including service provider records, Attestations of Compliance, responsibility matrices, process documents, training records and audit artefacts.

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.
