Graduate Operations Analyst – Financial Services
London – Liverpool Street
5 days per week in the office
Are you a bright, curious graduate looking to build a career within financial services?
We’re recruiting a Graduate Operations Analyst to join a successful financial services business in the City of London. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to develop a long-term career within Operations and Middle Office, while also using technology to improve, streamline and automate the way things are done.
You don’t need years of experience. We’re looking for someone with potential, curiosity and a genuine desire to learn.
The opportunity:
You’ll join an experienced team and gain hands-on exposure to the operational side of a financial services business, learning how transactions, systems and processes work from end to end.
This isn't a role where you'll simply be expected to follow existing processes. The team wants someone who will learn how things work, ask intelligent questions and, as their knowledge develops, challenge whether things could be done better.
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.
Technology and process improvement will be an important part of the role. You’ll be encouraged to identify manual or inefficient processes and explore how tools such as Excel, Python, AI and automation could make them faster, smarter and more efficient.
What we're looking for:
We're interested in graduates who are:
- Bright, analytical and naturally curious
- Genuinely interested in developing a career within Operations / Middle Office
- Interested in technology, AI and automation
- Keen to learn and understand how financial markets and operational processes work
- Comfortable asking questions and challenging the status quo
- Good problem solvers who enjoy finding more efficient ways of doing things
- Personable, collaborative and able to build strong relationships within a close-knit team
- Happy working from the London office five days per week
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate university, internship or personal projects involving Excel, Python, AI, data analysis, VBA, SQL, Power BI or process automation. These aren't all essential. What's more important is being able to demonstrate that you enjoy using technology to solve problems and improve processes.
Why apply?
This is an opportunity to start your career in a role where you'll learn from experienced people, gain exposure to financial markets and develop a valuable combination of Operations, Middle Office, technology and automation experience.
For the right person, it's a fantastic platform from which to build a long-term career within financial services.
