Operations Specialist
A leading multi-billion-dollar hedge fund is looking to hire an Operations Specialist to join its expanding London office.
This newly created role will work closely with the Head of Operations, supporting the firm’s growing equities business across Operations / Middle Office, while gaining exposure to other products.
About the Role
We’re looking for someone with 3–6 years’ buy-side Operations experience, with strong equities knowledge and hands-on experience across reconciliations, corporate actions, Collateral settlements, and trade management.
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.
