PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENT MANAGER

ABOUT HAMILTON BRADSHAW
Hamilton Bradshaw is the private investment office of James Caan, with over 20 years of experience investing in service-led businesses.
We combine principal capital with operational expertise to back and grow businesses and are looking to add an experienced private equity investor to our team.
THE ROLE
This is a permanent, full-time position working closely with James Caan and the investment team across new investments, portfolio companies and strategic opportunities.
We are looking for a commercially minded investor who can originate, assess, structure and execute opportunities within an entrepreneurial environment.
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.
