Corporate Finance Manager / Director – West Midlands - £65,000 to £85,000 + Bonus
My client is a Corporate Finance Advisory firm situated in the Midlands that covers all aspects of advisory, including strategic, buy-side, sell-side, and debt & equity raising. They work with a range of clients, including Private Equity, Corporates, and owner-managed businesses across a wide range of sectors.
What does the Corporate Finance Manager / Director role look like?
As a director you will be the main point of contact for clients, from initial meeting, pitching, diligence, negotiation through to closing the transaction. Directors are expected to lead transactions, and advise on more complex deals, fee discussions, and negotiations. You will be a strong project manager and will take the reins when it comes to planning, execution, deal management, and progression. Internally, you will be the "go-to" person alongside the partners. You will support the growing team, through mentoring, allocation of work, developing skills, and ensuring best practice (from junior staff through to directors and partners) along with involvement in recruitment.
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.
