Director of Group Finance
High-Growth International Consumer Brand
Central London | Hybrid
£150,000 - £175,000 + bonus + benefits
A high-growth international consumer and ecommerce business is recruiting a Director of Group Finance to support the CFO during an important phase of scale, international expansion, and finance transformation.
The business has grown rapidly, built a loyal customer base, and is entering its next stage of development, with continued ecommerce growth, retail expansion, and investment into systems, reporting, and infrastructure.
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a senior leadership role responsible for financial control, group reporting, statutory accounting, audit, tax, treasury, controls, and finance operations across a multi-jurisdictional business. The role will sit alongside the Commercial Finance Director, who will lead FP&A, business partnering, and commercial finance. Together with the CFO, these roles will form the senior finance leadership team.
The successful candidate will help build the financial discipline, reporting framework, and control environment required to support a fast-growing international business. This is a hands-on leadership role, suited to someone who can operate strategically while still being close enough to the detail to improve processes, strengthen controls, and ensure high-quality financial reporting.
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.
