We are seeking highly motivated and talented individuals for our Quantitative Research Internship in London. This is an exciting opportunity to work with a team of experts in the field of quantitative finance and gain hands-on experience in a dynamic and innovative environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with our mentors to develop and implement mathematical models and algorithms.
  • Analyse large datasets to identify trends, patterns, and opportunities for investment strategies.
  • Present findings and insights to team members and contribute to strategic decision-making.

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.
