Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
The role will have a strong commercial and operational focus, using finance to drive margin improvement, cost and profitability analysis, and disciplined Capex and Opex investment. The FD will work closely with operational leadership to identify opportunities for continuous improvement, cost reduction, and reinvestment in sustainable growth.
Alongside building a high-quality finance function, the successful candidate will play an important role in the wider PE value creation journey through to an eventual exit, with an appropriate management incentive opportunity aligned to value creation.
