📍 Manchester / Flexible Remote Working
I’m working with a fast-growing real estate capital advisory business looking to add an experienced originator to its team.
The firm advises on real estate financing transactions ranging from £500k to £100m+, with access to a broad UK and international lender network. Around 60% of its business comes from repeat clients, providing a strong platform for an experienced individual to build on.
They are looking for someone with 10+ years’ experience in real estate finance, ideally from either a lender or debt advisory background, who has developed strong borrower/client relationships and wants greater autonomy and commercial upside from the business they originate.
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.
