We’re building something powerful. Let’s build it together.
We've delivered high-performance embedded computing solutions for four decades across industries including defence, telecoms, and aerospace. We’re proud to be experts in what we do and are looking for more brilliant people to join our team

The Role

We're looking for a proactive, enthusiastic, and detail-focused Accounts Payable Lead to join our finance team. Reporting to the Group Financial Controller, you'll play a key role in keeping our finance operations running smoothly while supporting the wider business.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced finance professional who is ready to take the next step in their career. Alongside managing the accounts payable function, you'll lead and support a small team of two, helping them develop while driving efficiency, accuracy, and continuous improvement across processes. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, building strong relationships across the business, and making a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.

What will I be delivering?

As our Accounts Payable Lead, you'll be responsible for a broad range of finance activities, including:

  • Leading, managing, and developing a team of two Accounts Payable professionals, providing day-to-day guidance, support, and coaching.
  • Maintaining accurate and up-to-date financial records, including accounts payable and receivable.
  • Managing the end-to-end invoice process, working closely with teams across the business to ensure invoices are processed and paid on time.
  • Overseeing bank reconciliations and supporting day-to-day banking activities.
  • Managing credit control activities and helping maintain healthy cash flow.
  • Supporting cash flow forecasting and monitoring.

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.
