Investor Relations Associate / Senior Associate – London
I’m working with a leading alternative investment firm that is looking to add an Associate / Senior Associate to its Investor Relations team in London.
This is a great opportunity for someone with a background across private equity, alternative investments, fund-of-funds, or investment research who is looking to take on a role combining investment analysis, manager research, and investor relations.
The team is particularly interested in candidates who have experience evaluating investment managers and funds, with a strong understanding of the alternatives landscape. Fund-of-funds and/or fund financing experience is a key requirement, and experience researching or advising on emerging managers would be particularly relevant.
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.
