Risk & Compliance Manager | Liverpool | £50,000 + Bonus
I'm working with a rapidly growing financial services business in Liverpool that is looking to strengthen its Risk & Compliance function with the appointment of a Risk & Compliance Manager.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys working closely with the business and wants to play a key role in developing risk culture across a growing and diverse organisation.
The business has experienced significant growth and has ambitious plans to continue expanding, creating an exciting time to join the team.
The Role
You'll work closely with teams across the business to support the existing Risk & Compliance framework, with a particular focus on Risk and Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs).
A key part of the role will be helping the business embed the RCSA process and further develop its overall risk culture.
You'll need to be comfortable communicating with people at all levels of the organisation, from senior leadership through to operational teams.
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What they're looking for:
- Experience within Risk & Compliance in financial services
- Strong experience with RCSAs
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- The ability to adapt your communication style to different audiences
- An approachable and collaborative style
- The ability to work closely with the business rather than simply operate within a traditional second-line function
- Strong commercial awareness
- A genuine customer-focused mindset and the ability to consider risk from the customer's perspective
Insurance experience will be considered, although broader financial services experience would be preferable.
Customer focus is particularly important. The successful candidate will need to understand the impact of risk, controls and processes from the customer's point of view and be able to bring that perspective into conversations with the business.
