About VantagePoint
VantagePoint is a global finance transformation and technology consultancy helping organisations modernise the finance function through process improvement, data and leading technology platforms.
Founded in London, we've grown rapidly from a team of five to over 100 professionals across EMEA, North America and APAC in seven years.
We partner with CFOs to deliver complex transformation programmes - implementing and optimising market-leading technologies to drive control, transparency and insight.
Our model combines deep finance expertise with strong technical delivery, enabling us to deliver practical outcomes and long-term client partnerships.
The opportunity
As an Engagement Manager at VantagePoint, you'll take ownership of a portfolio of finance transformation engagements, accountable for successful delivery, strong client relationships and commercial outcomes.
You'll oversee engagements end to end - including financials, resourcing, governance, risk and change - while acting as a trusted point of contact for senior client stakeholders.
Beyond delivery, you'll play an important role in customer success and growth, identifying opportunities within your accounts, supporting proposals and sales cycles, and helping develop long-term client relationships.
You'll also help strengthen how we deliver as we scale, embedding VantagePoint's governance framework and contributing to continuous improvement across the EMEA practice.
What you'll be doing
Delivery & engagement management
- Lead the end-to-end delivery of finance transformation projects across multiple technologies, providing strong project management oversight to both clients and delivery teams.
- Oversee all aspects of project governance, including financial management, stakeholder engagement, planning and scheduling, resource allocation, risk and issue management and change control.
- Establish and embed effective ways of working, ensuring alignment with VantagePoint's delivery model and governance framework.
- Collaborate with delivery teams to ensure appropriate methodologies, tools and best practices are consistently applied, leveraging our project management systems.
- Drive project planning and resource coordination in partnership with the internal resourcing team, tracking progress against milestones and deliverables.
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.
