Location: London, UK

Opportunities: Product Development and Product Management
About the opportunity
Interested in how alternative investment products are developed, launched and managed? Our client, a leading global asset management firm, is looking for interns to join its Alternatives Product team in London. This is an opportunity to gain practical experience across real estate, infrastructure and private credit, while learning how investment ideas become products for clients.
You’ll work alongside experienced professionals, build your understanding of asset management and develop your skills through individual projects, speaker sessions and networking events. Mentors and managers will support you throughout the programme. Subject to performance, successful interns may be offered a place on the firm’s graduate programme the following year.
About the team
The Alternatives Product team oversees the full product lifecycle, from identifying opportunities and developing new products to supporting launches, capital raising and ongoing product management.
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.
