Job Title
We are partnered with a UK Headquartered Asset Management Firm based in London (West End) to support with a key hire within their client team. We are looking for a recent graduate, ideally somebody who has a good understanding of Global Capital Markets and some experience (internships) within the Asset Management industry.
About the Role
The primary remit of the position is to support client managers and other senior market-facing colleagues on a range of client and commercial-related issues / requests and to process ad hoc queries, as well as to assist with the generation and delivery of regularly scheduled collateral marketing materials.
The job also entails working closely with the team head on ad hoc projects and strategic material relating to commercial efforts. This includes the production of competitor analysis and business trends analysis used by the executive leadership team in order to make informed strategic decisions.
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.
