Investment Manager/Director role
Edinburgh
We are partnered with a well-established Wealth Management firm with an AUM in excess of £20bn. The business is now going through a stage of growth and they're looking to hire in their Edinburgh office.

The Investment Manager/Director will be responsible for:
- Hosting client meetings
- Ensuring that the firm acts honestly, fairly, professionally and in the client's best interest at all times
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.
