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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Opportunity to influence significant business and transformation investment decisions
- Extensive exposure to Executive Committee and senior leadership stakeholders
- Broad, commercially focused finance partnering role rather than traditional reporting
- The candidate will be joining a business continuing to invest heavily in technology, digital transformation and growth
- Work at the centre of strategic decision-making and change delivery
- Opportunity to add real value through challenge, insight and commercial judgement
- Fast-paced environment offering strong future career progression opportunities
- Excellent blend of commercial finance, investment appraisal and strategic partnering
- Hybrid working of 2 days in the office and the rest from home
