Are you an experienced banking, accountancy or finance professional looking to use your financial expertise to support and grow Welsh businesses?
The Development Bank of Wales is looking for a proactive individual to join our Portfolio Monitoring Team as a Portfolio Monitoring Executive. This is an exciting opportunity to manage and monitor a portfolio of business loans, supporting portfolio companies to achieve their potential.
You’ll build strong relationships with client businesses, maintaining a detailed understanding of their performance and financial position. Working closely with Senior Portfolio Executives and Portfolio Managers, you’ll analyse financial information, identify emerging risks and opportunities, and recommend appropriate actions to support effective portfolio management.
This role would suit someone with experience in banking, accountancy or a similar financial environment who combines strong technical skills with sound commercial judgement and a customer-focused approach.
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.
