Business Development Manager – Financial Institutions
I’m working with a highly respected global law firm to hire a Business Development Manager who will play a key role in driving the strategy and market profile of their Financial Institutions, Digital Assets and Blockchain, and FinTech groups.
This is an opportunity to step into a genuinely exciting space, working at the intersection of financial services, digital innovation and emerging technology, while being part of a collaborative, well-established Marketing and BD function.
You’ll be joining a firm that invests heavily in its people and operates across major international markets. The team is known for its supportive culture, strong partner engagement and ability to deliver high-impact initiatives that shape the firm’s global profile.
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.
