Job Description
Your move.
This is your opportunity to learn from some of the sharpest minds in asset management — and shape the future of how we serve clients, build products and drive innovation. Our Client & Product Graduate Rotational Programme gives you a front-row seat to how a global investment firm builds partnerships, solves problems, and delivers real impact.
You’ll work alongside relationship management and investment product professionals by rotating across teams in Client Business and Global Product Solutions. These teams work together to understand client problems, design cutting-edge investment solutions and market insights. During the 2.5 years of rotations, you’ll gain hands-on experience with how we take ideas from concept to client delivery — across Europe and internationally.
You’ll be working for one of the most prestigious firms in financial services and will be empowered to find your place in it and contribute to impactful work that makes a difference. The programme will provide you with transferable skills that set you up for the long run — applicable to the world of finance and beyond. You’ll learn how to manage complex projects, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and turn data into action.

Client Business
Our Client Business teams manage relationships, grow partnerships, and work closely with investment and product teams to create solutions that work for our clients.
What You’ll Learn:
- How big investors think - You’ll learn how major institutions — from pension funds to insurers — make investment decisions, manage performance and assess risk.
- Markets, made simple. - You’ll follow financial news and internal research to understand how markets move — and how those movements affect client portfolios. Over time, you’ll be confident in discussing trends and their impact.
- Who we serve. - From large institutions to private wealth managers, you’ll see how we support a wide range of clients — and how their goals shape the way we work.
- What we offer. - You’ll get to know our product range — funds, ETFs, tailored solutions — and learn how we match the right offering to the right need.
- The tools we use. - You’ll get hands-on with the platforms and software that keep our client work running — from relationship tracking to Aladdin, our proprietary tech for building and analysing portfolios.
- How to connect and communicate. - You’ll pick up the skills that make strong sales and service work.
- The rules we stick to. - You’ll gain a solid understanding of the ethics and regulations that govern how we work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind
This programme follows a different structure from our Full-Time Analyst programme. You won’t choose a specific team upfront. Instead, you’ll rotate across multiple teams in Client Business and Global Product Solutions over 2.5 years. That means you’ll gain a broad, practical view of how client and product come together.
Once you apply, you’ll receive a pre-interview assessment via email. You’ll have five days to complete it. If you don’t complete it, your application will be withdrawn — and you won’t be able to reapply.
Eligibility
You should be graduating from an undergraduate or master’s degree by July 2027.
We welcome students from all degree disciplines.
If you’re applying for a role in Continental Europe, you’ll need to be fluent in the local language.
