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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.

You’ll ideally have 4–5 years of Operations experience gained directly within a hedge fund or investment fund environment.

- Corporate actions
- Equities and credit products
- Trade settlements and lifecycle management
- Cash, position and transaction reconciliations
- Restructurings / PIKs / complex lifecycle events

Geneva experience would be a significant advantage.
