Breaking into finance from Data Science role at a fortune 200

A bit of a background from me: 

Have a degree in maths w/ finance and economics, achieved a 2:1 with 65% overall. 

I have personal projects to do with finance such as an algo trading bot in Python (Its a pretty basic one) and my own stock portfolio which is mostly just value investing. 

I have experience in SQL, Python, C++, R and also cloud computing such as Azure and AWS. I have no internship or anything finance related for my work experience. 

What role do you guys think would be best for me and are there any recommendations you can give me to enhance my profile?
