VAT Risk & Governance Lead - London

This role is responsible for leading VAT risk governance across a complex, multi-jurisdictional environment. The position focuses on designing, implementing, and enhancing VAT risk frameworks, controls, and assurance programmes to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and minimise operational risk.

Working in partnership with tax, business, audit, and risk stakeholders, the role drives the integration of effective VAT controls into business processes, supports operational readiness, and provides insight into emerging risks and remediation activities.

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.
