Role Overview

Most Transaction Services roles are backfills. Someone left. There's a gap. You're the person who fills it - joining a team that already exists, learning how they already do things, finding your place in a structure built long before you turned up.

This one isn't that.

Unique Opportunity

A Partner is building a new TS team. He's won and delivered this work for years; he knows how it's done, and he's now doing it under his own steam. He wants one person to build it with him, the first hire, at the Manager, Senior Manager or Associate Director level.

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Key Aspects

  • First hire: You'd be on live mandates with him from day one. Not shadowing. Not waiting your turn. Working directly alongside the person setting the direction.
  • Ground floor opportunity: For most people, the right time to join a team is once it's established and safe. For the right person, that's exactly the wrong time - because by then the interesting part is done. The ground floor is only available once.

Who It Suits

  • Experienced Assistant Manager, Manager, or Senior Manager from a TS background.
  • A few years of FDD behind you.
  • ACA qualified.
  • Southampton-based, or genuinely commutable.

Who It Doesn't Suit

  • Anyone who wants a Big4 or Top10 brand over the door and a lane already marked out. That's a good career. It just isn't this one.
