A leading global bank is hiring a Vice President into its Derivatives Legal function in London.
This is an advisory, policy-focused role sitting across derivatives products, covering netting and collateral policy, regulatory implementation (including EMIR and clearing-related advisory) and default-related work-out issues.
You'll act as an escalation point and technical authority rather than negotiating documentation directly, working closely with stakeholders across Legal and the business.
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.
