Join us as a Market Risk Manager

You'll join a dynamic working environment and manage risk coverage of the top global Commercial and Institutional Capital Markets franchises. In this trading floor-based role, you'll be working closely with the trading and structuring business. With the opportunity to further develop an extensive range of skills and knowledge, this varied role also offers excellent exposure to our business and its senior stakeholders.

What you'll do

As a Market Risk Manager, you’ll be implementing agreed risk appetites, including monitoring adherence and appropriately escalating breaches.

Your role will also involve:

  • Understanding, reviewing, and challenging trading business strategies at the portfolio and deal level, and highlighting and escalating issues and any unusual trading activity
  • Supporting senior management in the development of the risk appetite and the implementation of the market risk limit framework
  • Developing a detailed knowledge of financial markets, investment strategies, liquidity management and key income drivers
  • Reviewing trade proposals, and non-standard deal documents and making recommendations on approval dependent on sign-off level
  • Reviewing the ongoing operation of risk models and working with market risk methodology on improvements
  • Maintaining interaction between market risk, the relevant business, finance, quants and any other relevant stakeholders

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.
