Our client, a growing Investment Platform, is looking to appoint an experienced Trading Operations Manager to lead its investment operations function.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an operational leader with experience in investment platforms, wealth management, or custody to take ownership of a critical function, leading specialist teams while driving operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.

The Role

You'll be responsible for the day-to-day leadership of investment operations, overseeing trading, settlement, corporate actions, investment servicing, and operational controls. Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, you'll ensure processes are efficient, scalable, and aligned with regulatory requirements while supporting strategic change initiatives.

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.
