How You'll Make a Difference

We are seeking an experienced Senior Credit Risk Modelling Manager to lead a small team in the development, delivery, and ongoing maintenance of credit risk models. You'll take responsibility for a suite of credit risk models (one of Internal ratings Based (IRB), impairment, forecasting, or decisioning) and ensuring they are robust, well-governed and aligned to regulatory expectations. You'll use a blend of technical expertise, industry knowledge, and lateral thinking to be able to solve complex business problems, taking advantage of emerging industry best practice and technological developments.

Working closely with senior stakeholders across Risk, Finance, Treasury, Commercial, Technology and the wider business, you'll help shape the Society's modelling strategy, champion best practice, and support confident, evidence-based decision making.

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.
