Investment Operations Analyst – 12‑Month FTC
Transfers, Treasury, Settlements & Corporate Actions Edinburgh or Glasgow | Hybrid (3 days office)
We’re looking for an adaptable, detail‑focused Investment Operations Analyst who can bring strong transferable experience into a fast‑moving operations environment. If you enjoy working across different processes, supporting multiple teams and applying your analytical skills to keep core investment operations running smoothly, this role offers an excellent opportunity to broaden your exposure across Treasury, Transfers, Settlements and Corporate Actions.
This 12‑month fixed‑term role is ideal for someone who has worked in financial operations, payments, reconciliations, trade support or similar environments and is confident moving between priorities as business needs evolve. You’ll play a key part in supporting daily processes, resolving exceptions, contributing to change activity and helping teams maintain high standards of control and client service.
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.
