Fast-growing, entrepreneurial business

Are you a commercially driven finance leader who wants to play a key role in shaping the growth and direction of a successful, entrepreneurial business?

We're working with a fast-growing organisation looking to appoint a Commercial and Finance Director to join its senior leadership team.

This is a broad, high-impact position combining commercial strategy, financial leadership, and business performance. You'll work closely with the CEO and leadership team, providing the insight, challenge, and financial direction needed to support the next stage of growth.

The Opportunity

You'll take ownership of the finance function while also acting as a key commercial partner to the wider business.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

  • Leading the finance function and providing strong financial leadership
  • Partnering with the CEO and senior leadership team on strategic decisions
  • Owning budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling, and business planning
  • Driving commercial performance, profitability, and cash generation
  • Developing meaningful KPIs and management reporting
  • Providing insight into revenue, margins, costs, and overall business performance
  • Identifying opportunities to improve profitability and operational efficiency
  • Supporting investment decisions, growth opportunities, and new projects
  • Building robust financial models and business cases
  • Strengthening financial controls, processes, and reporting
  • Taking ownership of cash flow and working-capital management
  • Developing and mentoring the finance team
  • Ensuring finance is a proactive business partner rather than simply a reporting function

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.
