Your Role

Do you have a strong interest in financial markets and the evolving electronification of global futures execution? Are you a team player with an entrepreneurial mindset looking to join a cross-asset and cross-channel desk, focusing on futures execution and the adoption of a hybrid electronic / voice sales trading role? We are looking for someone with a passion for markets, a strong growth mindset, and an acute attention to detail who will:

  • Have a robust understanding of global Futures markets, market structure, regulation and dealing practices
  • Provide timely and effective execution of client orders (agency execution) as a subject matter expert
  • Become fluent in our systems’ architecture and proactively monitor global electronic direct market access and algorithmic flow across multiple asset classes
  • Deliver ETD Execution consultancy through analysis of algo performance, TCA (Trade Cost Analysis) reports and market structure insights
  • Act as a conduit for clients to drive client requests, positive outcomes and issue resolution across teams and regions
  • Pioneer a unique coverage model which is a crossover between voice execution and electronic execution as we evolve into a hybrid execution team
  • Formulate a business strategy to identify new opportunities and to drive client acquisition, market share growth and increased overall profitability of your client coverage list
  • Effectively assess and manage risk in high pressure situations to minimize operational, reputational, regulatory and commercial risks
  • Collaborate closely with various internal teams from operations to IT to resolve client issues and drive client solutions
  • Articulate clear handovers of issues to global teams and management and work closely with regional desks that operate on a follow-the-sun model

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.
