Technology & Change Finance Analyst

Location: Manchester - Hybrid

Contract: 6-month fixed-term contract

Are you a part-qualified or newly qualified finance professional who enjoys turning complex data into clear, commercially useful insight?

We are looking for a Technology & Change Finance Analyst to join our Finance team on a six-month fixed-term contract. Supporting a significant Technology and Change portfolio, you will provide high-quality cost analysis, forecasting, and reporting to help senior stakeholders understand performance, manage investment, and make informed decisions.

This is a fast-paced and varied role where you will work closely with Finance, Technology, Change, and Controllership teams, supporting a technology cost base of approximately £100 million.

The Role

You will:

  • Deliver financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and analysis across Technology and Change costs, investments, and programmes.
  • Provide clear insight into cost performance, strategic investment, and the impact on EBITDA.
  • Support robust month-end, year-end, and forecasting processes in partnership with Controllership.
  • Review and challenge project and programme business cases, including assumptions, costs, benefits, risks, and expected returns.
  • Assess the financial impact of scope changes, delivery risks, opportunities, and system implementations.
  • Track project spend, investment delivery, and benefit realization across the change portfolio.
  • Support major technology implementations, operating model changes, and process redesign initiatives.
  • Maintain and improve forecasting models, reporting materials, governance processes, and financial controls.
  • Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and become a trusted finance partner to non-finance teams.
  • Produce accurate, timely, and easily understood reporting that supports effective decision-making.

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.
