moving from operations analyst to other areas

hi there, so i've just started working as an operations analyst at a pretty good hf.( previously i was working as a spot dealer at a fx firm) however, i'm more interested in investment analysis or trading role. whats the likelihood of that? do you think my firm will encourage such lateral movements?
