The organisation combines a people-led approach with technology-enabled operations, backed by major industry standards and accreditations.
As the business continues to scale and evolve within a complex, service-led environment, they are looking to appoint a Finance Director into a high-impact, 12-month leadership role. This position will play a critical role in steering the financial strategy, leading the UK finance function, and empowering a high-performing team to deliver accurate, timely insights that drive confident executive decisions.
This is an excellent opportunity for a strategic yet hands-on finance leader with a strong track record of driving change within dynamic, multi-entity environments. The role will suit an individual excited by the opportunity to shape a forward-thinking, technology-enabled finance platform.
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.
