Systems Analyst – Finance, Technology & Automation

London | Permanent | Office Based

Are you an early-career Accounting or Finance graduate who has realised your future might be in technology rather than traditional finance? We are looking for a bright, technically minded individual who wants to combine their understanding of finance with technology, automation and business transformation.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes and building practical technology solutions that make a genuine difference to a business.

The opportunity

You will work closely with business users to understand operational challenges and help translate them into practical technical solutions.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Design and develop applications that improve business processes and efficiency
  • Build and deploy solutions using Microsoft Azure
  • Use Python or another programming language to create practical business applications and automations
  • Identify manual or inefficient processes and find ways to improve them through technology
  • Maintain, support and enhance existing applications as well as help develop new solutions
  • Work directly with users across the business to understand requirements and solve operational problems
  • Help introduce appropriate controls, documentation, development standards and governance around applications and automation
  • Take ownership of projects and see the direct impact of your work

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.
