Chief Finance Officer (CFO) | Fashion Retail | London

On behalf of our client, we’re looking for an exceptional Chief Finance Officer to join our Executive Leadership Team and partner closely with the CEO as they continue to scale their £100m omnichannel fashion business.

This is a pivotal leadership role, responsible for driving operational excellence, financial performance and organisational effectiveness across a business with an established international wholesale network and a fast-growing direct-to-consumer channel.

The CFO will lead our core operational functions, including Finance, Operations, Logistics and IT, ensuring the business has the people, systems and processes to support the next phase of growth. You should come from a retail, wholesale or DTC background, ideally an apparel or fashion retail brand.

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.
