We're supporting a highly respected international investment firm in the appointment of an Early Careers Recruitment Manager to take ownership of a best-in-class Early Careers programme across multiple European locations.
This is a rare opportunity to join an elite, high-performing environment where talent is viewed as a genuine competitive advantage.

You will lead the design and delivery of the Early Careers strategy across internships and graduate-level investment hiring. This is a highly visible role with international scope, supporting hiring across several European offices while partnering directly with senior stakeholders throughout the investment business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
