Interim FP&A Director

PE-backed

Infrastructure

Travel required

Pearse Portfolio are supporting a PE-backed infrastructure business in looking for an Interim FP&A Director to take ownership of the FP&A function and raise it to investor and lender grade at a pivotal point for the business.

This is a hands-on, diagnostic-led role. You will come in, take a hard look at how planning, forecasting and reporting work today, and rebuild what needs rebuilding. High autonomy, direct exposure to the CFO and investors, and a clear mandate to leave behind a function that runs.

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.
