A commodities-focused Alternative Investment fund is looking to hire an Operations Analyst to join their business. Ideal opportunity for an Operations professional with a couple of years’ experience looking to join a vibrant work environment.

Candidates should have strong Python coding skills alongside proficiency in SQL.

As the successful candidate develops, the role will increasingly focus on process automation, systems development, and operational improvement, with routine duties moving into a backup or supervisory capacity to support the firm’s scalability.

This role is full time, 5-days a week, in the office.

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.
