A leading hedge fund is looking for a Front Office Trader Assistant to join its trading desk in a highly visible, fast-paced role.
This is not a traditional middle-office position, you will sit close to the investment process and work daily with the CIO, Portfolio Managers and Traders, supporting trading activity across the fund and becoming a key point of contact between the investment desk and the wider 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.
