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.
This is a new role that offers the opportunity to shape how iSAM identifies, acquires and manages data. Working across our Systematic Funds and Capital Markets businesses, you will help define the firm's data strategy, build strong relationships with data providers and ensure our researchers have access to the best data available.
You will own our data catalogue, continuously improve our understanding of the firm's data assets, and proactively identify new datasets that can provide investment insight and data providers to partner with. We are a fast-paced ambitious team, so you'll be expected to work independently, collaborate across the business and work closely with the investment teams and Head of Data.
