About the Position
We’re looking for a Market Data Specialist to join our Metadata team, working on improving and supporting our internal golden copy Security Master and Corporate Action Management systems. You’ll be responsible for configuring our systems to improve data quality, helping with data cleaning and validation, solving support issues for internal clients, and interfacing with our data providers.
You’ll be embedded into the Metadata Systems Engineering team and will work with software developers, traders, and operations professionals across the firm.
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.
