Metals Analyst - Commodities

Salary: £50,000–£65,000 + benefits
We’re working with a commodities trading business looking to hire a Physical Commodities Researcher / Strategic Development Associate into a commercially focused strategy team.
This is a strong opportunity for an associate-level professional with experience in physical commodities markets to join a role with real breadth. You’ll support work across market research, strategic analysis, commercial opportunities, and new product development linked to physical commodities and the wider market around them.
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.
