Chief Financial Officer — UK Small Modular Reactor Programme
United Kingdom · Reporting to CEO
A privately funded UK SMR developer is building the first of a planned fleet of small modular reactors, starting with a major site in the UK. This is not a government programme, and it is not being run like one, funding is coming from a mix of private and institutional investors, with a structure that includes a genuine community stake in the outcome.
This is not a conventional CFO brief. The job is not administering a capital budget — it's raising against a build that hasn't started yet, across equity, project finance and institutional money, and then holding the discipline once it's flowing.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- A finance leader with genuine experience closing private or institutional capital against a first-of-a-kind or pre-revenue asset — not just reporting on capital already committed
- Comfortable with the risk profile of an early-stage business: the first 6–9 months of this role are fixed-term, converting to permanent once the next funding round lands
- A generalist mindset over narrow specialism
- Genuinely motivated by the mission rather than by title or a conventional comp package

What's on offer
- A seat at the top table of a genuinely new-build programme
- Equity that pays out meaningfully at licensing, alongside salary and team-based bonus
- Flexibility on hybrid working, built on two-way trust rather than fixed policy
- The chance to shape the finance function from its earliest days
