About the Role
We are working with a US firm with a fast-growing, premium PE/M&A practice in London. The team is in clear expansion mode (with plans to double in size in London) and is strategically positioned at the intersection of tech, life sciences and private equity, with strong US connections.
They are looking for an NQ or 1 PQE level candidate (no September 2026 qualifiers) to join the team. You will work directly with a headline team who joined a few years ago from a leading international firm, alongside a lean, high-performing PE team.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role focuses on international PE deals across healthcare, life sciences, tech and digital infrastructure, with meaningful sponsor exposure and early client/BD involvement, plus a significant M&A component.
