People are living longer and we’re excited by the opportunities this brings to help people live their best lives. We’re here for everyone who wants to make the most of their time on the planet and leave it a little better than they found it – however grand or humble their ambitions.
We help people live their best lives. We help them with the big stuff, for the moments that matter: Pensions, Savings, Investments. At Aegon, we strive in creating a diverse organisation that plays a meaningful role in driving greater equity, inclusion and belonging.
We currently have an exciting opportunity to join our Platform Investment Administration team. You’ll be responsible for supporting reconciliation processes and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
We’re looking for someone with a strong understanding of reconciliations, a proactive mindset, and a commitment to delivering high quality service by taking full ownership of each customer transaction.
Key Responsibilities
- Ensure consistency with procedures, perform process checks, and manage error control
- Take ownership of timely processing, reconciliation, and reporting activities
- Investigate and resolve issues or exceptions that arise during processing
- Manage exceptions resulting from processing failures, identifying root causes and implementing solutions outside standard procedures
- Provide assurance on the quality of colleagues’ work to minimise errors and deliver excellent customer service
- Take responsibility for your own development by working towards capability matrix goals and building a full understanding of end-to-end platform processes
- Recommend and contribute to improvements in procedures, processes, and technology to enhance customer experience, reduce risk, and improve efficiency
- Stay informed about changes to the platform proposition, regulatory requirements, and Aegon’s strategic direction
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.
