Job Title
Our client, a leading global investment bank, is scaling its Quantitative Investment Strategies trading platform.
The opportunity is to significantly accelerate platform delivery. Multiple teams are working across the platform simultaneously: quant developers, platform engineers, infrastructure, IT, and business, and the goal is to make that collaboration more efficient, more coherent, and faster.
The business has strong momentum and is looking for the right person to connect the dots between these teams and turn that momentum into consistent, demonstrable delivery. This role exists to do exactly that.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
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.
This position is open in London, 3 days on-site/week, long-term commitment.
Responsibilities
- Own delivery coordination across interdependent teams (quant developers, platform engineers, infrastructure, IT, and business stakeholders) with no direct line authority
- Define and enforce what "done" actually means with each engineering team before anything is called delivered
- Sort out the test environments ensuring nothing is pushed forward without proper end-to-end validation
- Track every in-flight workstream across the QIS platform scope
- Demonstrate working software on a week-to-week basis to senior stakeholders
- Identify cross-team dependencies early and drive resolution before they become programme blockers
- Translate technical constraints and delivery risks into clear, honest narratives for front-office sponsors including heads of QIS trading, QIS structuring, and the head of Equities
