We will count on you to:

  • Maintain and service relationships with existing clients, delivering an industry-leading, high-touch service.
  • Support Business Development Managers in acquiring, developing, and managing relationships with new prospects to grow the Model Portfolio Service (MPS).
  • Assist with day-to-day business development activities including event and webinar execution, CRM maintenance, and preparation of client materials such as presentation decks and RFPs.
  • Manage timely responses to client communications and collaborate with internal teams to ensure excellent service delivery.
  • Participate in project initiatives and internal forums to enhance client experience and support team growth.

Requirements

What you need to have:

  • A client-first mindset with strong interpersonal and communication skills, confident and personable in engaging a diverse client base.
  • Organised, responsive, and proactive with excellent attention to detail and the ability to clearly articulate investment views.
  • Self-sufficient in daily tasks while collaborating effectively with the wider team.
  • Awareness of compliance responsibilities and professional standards, with alignment to Fundhouse’s brand and values.
  • Proficient in standard MS Office applications and demonstrates a genuine interest in markets, portfolios, and the adviser community.

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.
