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.

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

- 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.

- 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.
