Associate, NAV Financing | London

We are partnered with a leading global credit platform on a confidential search for an Associate to join their NAV team in London.

This is a newly built team within an established, institutionally-backed business - a genuine early-mover in a part of the market that is growing quickly. For the right person it's a rare chance to get in at the start of something and grow with it, rather than slotting into a mature, crowded desk.

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.
