We are passionate about delivering passenger journeys that are sustainable, comfortable, and efficient. We are at the forefront of innovation in the industry, connecting communities and shaping the future of public transport.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Finance Administrator to join our Finance Operations team on a full-time permanent basis. This is a hybrid role and will be based from our Aberdeen office.

  • Review and update internal processes and procedures regularly.
  • Ensure compliance with best practices within Financial Operations.
  • Deliver effective service to internal and external customers in line with Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Task Level Descriptions (TLDs), and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
  • Adhere to control and audit mechanisms in line with company policy.
  • Collaborate with internal customers, group finance, auditors, and other stakeholders as required.
  • Maintain a strong customer focus and deliver high-quality service as part of the team.

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.
