Are you looking to launch your career in corporate banking and work with some of the UK's largest and most influential companies?

We are seeking a motivated and commercially minded Trainee to join our Corporate Coverage team in London. This is a unique opportunity to gain exposure to relationship management, financial analysis, client strategy and financing solutions while working alongside experienced banking professionals.

In this role, you'll support the management of relationships with major corporate clients, help prepare client presentations and market analysis, contribute to financing transactions, and develop a broad understanding of how a global bank supports businesses across different industries.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Supporting Relationship Managers with key client relationships.
  • Researching companies, industries and market trends.
  • Analysing financial and business information.
  • Assisting with client presentations and business proposals.
  • Helping coordinate financing and banking transactions.
  • Working with colleagues across multiple business areas and international locations.

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.
