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.
This role requires a strategic thinker with strong operational capability - someone who can balance high-level financial planning with hands-on leadership.
Importantly, this is not a traditional reporting role. It is a commercially focused CFO position, partnering closely with the CEO to improve margins, optimise cash performance, support US and European expansion, and build the financial infrastructure required for international scale.
We’re particularly keen to speak to CFOs who’ve operated in:
- Freight, logistics, distribution, maritime supply or international 3PL
- Multi-currency international trading environments
- US and European markets
- PE-backed, investor-ready or high-growth SME businesses
- Commercial environments where finance partners closely with sales and contracts

If you have played a key role in scaling an international trading business and are motivated by the opportunity to help shape the next phase of growth and value realisation, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
