Manager – Asset Management Strategy & Benchmarking (£80–90K + bonus)
A specialist consultancy is expanding its team with a Manager to help shape and grow a high-impact advisory and data-driven benchmarking offering for Asset & Wealth Management clients.
This is a rare opportunity for someone who knows the Asset Management ecosystem inside out, has worked on complex client engagements, and wants more ownership, visibility, and strategic influence than a large firm can offer.
Why this could be your next move
If you’ve built your career in a major consulting house or a large financial-services advisory group, you may recognise some of these realities:
- You spend more time navigating internal process than shaping client outcomes.
- You’re selling impressive capabilities, but unable to influence how solutions evolve.
- You’re delivering great work, but not seeing it translate into meaningful ownership, progression, or autonomy.
- The Asset Management practice is important — but not your playground to build.
This role changes that.
You’ll join a specialist business where your AM expertise is core to the mission: scaling proprietary insight, shaping go-to-market offerings, and influencing product direction. You’ll have direct visibility with senior leadership, faster decision-making, and the chance to make a measurable impact on practice growth.
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.
