Job Opportunity: Quantitative Researchers

I'm working with one of the world's leading institutional investment organisations to hire exceptional Quantitative Researchers who have experience designing, testing, and deploying systematic investment strategies.

This is not a data engineering role.
It is not a quantitative developer role.
It is not a model validation or pricing role.

We're looking for researchers who have taken investment ideas from hypothesis through to live implementation.

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.
