FX / Rates vol Analyst/Trader
Location: London
Experience: 3–10 years
We are looking for an FX / Macro Derivatives Analyst to join a leading global investment platform in London.

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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
- FX options and volatility
- G10 or Emerging Markets FX
- Rates and macro derivatives
- Relative value and cross-market opportunities
- Volatility and other non-linear strategies
The mandate is broad enough for the successful candidate to develop ideas across different markets, but candidates should have a strong grounding in FX and/or macro derivatives rather than being generalist macro researchers.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We can consider candidates at different levels of experience.
Candidates should be commercially minded, comfortable working with derivatives, and able to combine fundamental market understanding with quantitative and analytical thinking. Experience across Emerging Markets would be helpful but is not essential.
