🚀 Senior Operations Manager → Future COO | Central London
Please note: this role cannot provide sponsorship. Applicants must have existing right to work.
Ready to move beyond operational management and into executive leadership?
We're partnering with a high-growth quantitative trading and alternative investment business looking for an exceptional Senior Operations Manager with the ambition and capability to develop into a Chief Operating Officer.
Working directly alongside the CEO, you'll take ownership of the operational engine of a fast-paced, performance-driven organisation. You'll oversee trading operations, risk processes, capital flows, and cross-functional delivery—playing a key role in shaping how the business scales. This is more than an operations role. It's a genuine opportunity to build, influence and lead.
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.
