Private Equity Risk and Compliance Manager

Private Equity Independence Manager

As a Private Equity Independence Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in safeguarding the firm’s integrity while enabling growth. This is your chance to influence how we navigate a complex, evolving regulatory landscape—balancing commercial ambition with ethical responsibility. You’ll be at the heart of decision-making, ensuring independence and protecting our reputation, all while supporting the firm’s success in the private equity space. If you’re passionate about problem-solving, thrive under pressure, and want to contribute to something that truly matters, this is the role for you.

What Your Days Will Look Like

  • Monitor independence risks across private equity groups, including changes from investments, divestments, and restructuring.
  • Apply independence rules (FRC, SEC, Global Policy) to private equity structures across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Advise teams and partners on independence issues for complex relationships and portfolio companies.
  • Lead and document independence assessments for private equity clients, covering services, relationships, and investments.
  • Communicate confidently with senior stakeholders, providing clear guidance and delivering difficult messages when required.
  • Support training and knowledge-sharing initiatives for teams working with private equity clients.
  • Refine internal policies, procedures, and tools to strengthen independence compliance.

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.
