Associate Director - BCB Markets Origination

HOURS: Full Time SALARY: Competitive package available LOCATION: London WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites or meeting clients

What You'll Be Doing:

Business and Commercial Banking (BCB) Markets are welcoming all suitable applications for an exciting opportunity to join a bold, diverse and proven team of regulated sales colleagues covering c3000 RBB, Private Banking, SME and MC clients. You'll join a team that delivers the origination, sales, execution and facilitation of FX transactions for SME and Mid Corporate clients, supporting these clients in key stages of their business lifecycle and providing financial markets support.

This role will focus on growing our business in new areas and will give the successful candidate the opportunity to engage with New-To-Bank clients and New-To-Product clients to manage foreign currency and commodity risk. By doing this we'll look to deliver sustainable growth across our franchise.

The market and customer facing nature of this role requires a focused, results-orientated individual with a strong interest and experience in financial markets. Candidates should be comfortable with customer interaction and either possess, or be prepared - with our full support - to obtain, the qualifications needed for booking trades, trading, and managing business development opportunities with new clients. Gaining these qualifications is key to this role as it will allow you to price and structure FX risk management solutions (e.g. spot, forwards and options) and implement them with New-To-Bank clients.

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.
