I'm partnering with a leading Front Office Quantitative Analytics team on a Director-level opportunity focused on Hybrid Derivatives.

About the Role

This is a strategic technical leadership role centred on Hybrid Derivatives and hybrid pricing models, including products where payoffs depend on multiple asset classes (for example Rates/FX, Rates/Equity and Rates/Inflation), as well as pricing models where the payoff relates to a single asset class but the model incorporates multiple asset classes.

Working closely with Front Office Quants, Trading, Quant Development and Model Validation, you'll be responsible for:

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.
