About the Role
I am partnered with a Living Sector Investment Management firm, with the capital in place to complete multiple billion of transactions within the coming few years. This is a lean and agile team, but with an incredible name and brand in the market.
They are seeking an individual at Associate or Senior Analyst level, to work in their dynamic team and be encouraged to grow towards an Investment Management seat in the medium-term.
You will receive incredible deal exposure in this lean team, and career progression is at the forefront of the client’s mind – which I found incredibly refreshing.
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.
