About Us
Spreadex has been a trusted name in sports and financial spread betting for over 25 years. Since expanding into fixed odds betting in 2010 and CFD trading in 2017, we remain the only global operator to offer all these services under a single brand.
Following a quarter-century of sustained profitability, we’re entering an exciting new phase of growth across both our sports and financial divisions. This ambitious expansion is backed by a significant increase in our marketing investment and the recent acquisition of Sporting Index.
This role offers a unique opportunity to join a dynamic and growing team at our vibrant St Albans office, just outside London. The position offers a hybrid working model, combining both office-based and remote work.
Our office is based in St Albans, Hertfordshire with a fast and simple commute from London and the surrounding area.
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.
