Key Responsibilities:

  • Review and investigate surveillance alerts, assessing potential market abuse and other conduct risks.
  • Analyse trading activity, communications, and related data to identify unusual or suspicious behaviour.
  • Prepare investigation reports and maintain robust surveillance records.
  • Produce management reporting and trend analysis on surveillance activity and emerging risks.
  • Assist with the firm's Market Abuse Risk Assessment (MARA) and broader market conduct framework.
  • Partner with Compliance, Technology, and Data teams to improve surveillance processes and controls.
  • Support regulatory enquiries, audits, and internal reviews.

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.
