Certus Recruitment is collaborating with a prestigious financial software company, renowned for its sophisticated investment analytics, portfolio construction, due diligence, and reporting solutions provided to financial institutions worldwide.

In collaboration with the Head of Sales and the senior sales team, you will be tasked with identifying and engaging potential customers, qualifying opportunities, and scheduling high-quality product demonstrations.
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.
