We are supporting a fast-moving consumer finance business in the search for a Senior Legal Counsel to join their team.
They are looking for a strong financial services generalist who can operate commercially and pragmatically across a broad range of legal matters. This is a role for someone who enjoys being close to the business, building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, and providing advice that helps the organisation move forward.
The ideal candidate will be an engaging and confident stakeholder manager who can influence, challenge, and bring people with them. Just as importantly, they will be curious about the business and naturally look for ways to improve how things are done, bringing ideas, energy, and a fresh perspective rather than simply providing legal advice.
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.
