Join the model risk team of a global markets and commodities business with a serious track record — decades of unbroken profitability and a trading franchise spanning 30 markets. This is a seat where you validate the models the business actually trades on: recreating, testing and challenging derivative pricing and risk models in a structured, rigorous way, not just running reports.
The mandate sits close to the trading activity and covers real breadth — from multi-asset derivatives pricing and curve construction through to valuation adjustments, counterparty credit and market risk. For a junior quant, it's hard to find a faster way to build a complete picture of how pricing and risk models work across asset classes, with strong cross-skilling and a clear path into the wider quant world.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll do
- Validate the pricing and risk models that underpin trading across commodities and global markets — derivatives pricing, curve bootstrapping, valuation adjustments, counterparty credit and market risk methodologies
- Recreate, test and challenge models independently, applying analytic techniques such as simulation, regression, optimisation and time series analysis
- Work directly with the trading and quant teams who own the models — understanding how they're used, pressure-testing assumptions and communicating findings clearly
- Turn technical analysis into conclusions that stakeholders can act on, contributing to real decisions on model approval and use
- Build breadth fast through cross-skilling and exposure to a diverse project pipeline across asset classes
