?%
We've been mandated exclusively to source capital-allocated portfolio managers for a proprietary trading firm building a systematic platform.
This is not employment — it's a capital partnership.
You'll trade the firm's capital in their accounts, under their risk framework, with quarterly distributions. The firm handles operations, risk management, and infrastructure. You focus on what you do best: trading.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 10+ years of live trading experience (20+ preferred)
- Pod-trained background from systematic shops: hedge funds or prop trading houses
- Audited, live P&L — not backtests, simulations, or pro-forma results
- Systematic macro trader — capital-efficient trading across FX, global futures, crypto, intraday/short-term timeframes
- Clean IP ownership — signal library and execution stack are yours (or portable)
- Genuinely portable edge — your strategy works on your terms, not dependent on your current employer's leverage or risk framework
- Open to an allocated book model — not looking to raise your own AUM or manage external investors
- You can work remotely not a problem anywhere globally
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.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
