Your new company

A leading CDMO delivering complex capital investment and strategic programme portfolios is seeking a Portfolio Risk Analyst to support the successful delivery of high-value projects and programmes. Operating within a regulated and technically complex environment, the business is focused on driving excellence in project governance, risk management, and investment delivery.

Your new role

As a Portfolio Risk Analyst, you will support the management of risks across a portfolio of strategic programmes and capital projects. You will identify, assess, analyse, and monitor risks that could impact cost, schedule, scope, safety, and delivery outcomes.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Maintaining portfolio-level risk profiles and risk registers
  • Supporting quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis, contingency modelling, and uncertainty assessments
  • Monitoring risk trends, emerging issues, and systemic portfolio risks
  • Producing portfolio risk dashboards, reports, and key risk indicators
  • Supporting governance reviews, investment decision-making processes, and business case assurance activities
  • Working closely with project managers, finance, engineering, commercial teams, and external stakeholders
  • Facilitating risk workshops and providing challenge to project assumptions and mitigation plans
  • Driving continuous improvement in risk methodologies, analytics, reporting, and data quality

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.
