We're looking for a commercially sharp Finance Business Partner to join our finance team on a 12-month fixed-term basis, covering a period of maternity leave. The role is expected to start in early January.

This is a high-impact, MD-facing role: you'll provide dedicated finance support to our Partner and Consumer divisions, trusted to challenge performance, sharpen decision-making and help the business understand what's really driving the numbers.

As a fixed-term cover, we need someone who can hit the ground running — confident partnering senior stakeholders from day one, quick to grasp the commercial model, and comfortable holding their own with Executive Committee (Exco) and Senior Management Team (SMT) stakeholders.

The role

  • Partner the Managing Directors and leadership of our Partner and Consumer divisions, providing the insight, challenge and financial perspective they need to drive performance and profitability.
  • Get under the skin of each division's commercial drivers — and use that understanding to challenge performance, identify where we can do better, and hold the business to account against its plans.
  • Own and develop meaningful KPIs and performance measures that drive the right behaviours and inform decisions.
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting and monthly rolling P&L forecasting for your areas.
  • Review revenue, cost of sales and margin across the full product portfolio, with the support of colleagues.
  • Use automation and AI tooling to streamline recurring reporting and analysis — freeing up your time for the forward-looking, strategic work that adds the most value.
  • Contribute to month-end and year-end close, revenue & marketing accounting, balance sheet reconciliations and audit.
  • Deliver ad-hoc analysis and support profit optimisation projects across the business.

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.

  • A commercial mindset, with a track record of understanding business drivers and turning them into meaningful KPIs and insight.
  • Comfortable using automation and AI tools to work smarter — or genuinely keen to.
