The job description sets out what we need from you to be successful in your role and what you can expect in return.
Come as you are — and thrive
At Punch, we believe great pubs are built by great people, and great people don’t all look, think or act the same.
We’re proud to be a place where individuality is welcomed, differences are valued, and everyone can bring their whole self to work.
If you need adjustments or a different approach to help you shine, we’ll work with you to make it happen.
We are committed to equal opportunities for all and creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
As a Finance Analyst My Core Purpose Is To
Provide support for both the Leased & Tenanted division and Property Team. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their finance career to build strong analytical skills, producing weekly performance reports, supporting new site acquisitions, and analysing data to identify trends. You’ll work closely with operational teams and develop your skills in a fast‑paced environment.
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.
