Quantitative Analyst

Portsmouth | Hybrid | £65k-£75k + benefits

New Product Environment | Modern SaaS Platform | AI Invested

We're recruiting for a Quantitative Analyst role, joining a new product team with the opportunity to build something from the ground up and make a significant impact across the business.

The product itself isn't financial, but the challenge has strong parallels with quantitative trading and financial modelling - working with complex datasets, building structured models and using data to drive better decisions.

What you'll be doing...

  • Building and refining quantitative models and decision-support frameworks
  • Combining complex datasets to identify patterns, trends and opportunities
  • Developing approaches to ranking, weighting and interpreting data
  • Using Python, R, SQL, and Excel for analysis and modelling
  • Helping shape a completely new analytical capability within the business

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.
