Institutional Sales Trader – Futures & Options

Location: London

We are recruiting for a London-based financial brokerage active across asset classes, with a particular focus on Futures and Options. The firm is looking for a Sales Trader who enjoys building institutional relationships and wants greater scope to develop their business and career.

This opportunity will suit someone with two to three years’ broking experience who is performing well in their current seat but sees limited room to progress. You will join an entrepreneurial team where curiosity, initiative, and strong client service are valued.

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.
