Help embed Circular Living in every boardroom and every home.
WRAP is a global environmental action NGO, working to transform the product and food systems that lie behind the climate crisis, the loss of nature and the mountains of waste polluting our land and water.
Established in the UK in 2000, we work in over 40 countries and have offices in the UK and Washington D.C. Food, textiles and manufactured products together account for close to half of global greenhouse gas emissions, and we offer a different way of doing things: design, make, reuse — an approach we call Circular Living. Rooted in technical expertise, an impartial evidence base and independent convening power, we bring together businesses, governments and NGOs to deliver the systemic change our planet and communities need.
We are now seeking a Chief Financial and Operations Officer to join our Executive Team and help shape WRAP's next phase of growth, influence and impact. Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will lead finance, commercial, operations and governance — acting as Company Secretary to the Board — and serve as a strategic partner who strengthens resilience, enables innovation and ensures WRAP is ready for the future.
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.
