Finance Director – Strategic Projects
Warwickshire or Central London (Hybrid)
We are delighted to be exclusively supporting a fast-growing, private equity-backed business on the appointment of a Finance Director – Strategic Projects.
This is an outstanding opportunity to join a highly acquisitive, fast-paced organisation with an impressive track record of growth through both acquisition and organic expansion. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the business through its next phase of investment and growth.
This is a high-profile position offering regular exposure to senior leadership, investors, founders and external advisers. You'll lead the finance workstream across acquisitions while also driving a range of strategic and commercial projects across the wider business.
The Role
Working closely with the CFO and wider leadership team, you will take ownership of the finance workstream across acquisitions, ensuring transactions are successfully integrated while maintaining strong governance and commercial oversight.
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.
Alongside acquisition activity, you will lead a variety of strategic projects including financial modelling, investment appraisals, business planning, restructures and wider commercial initiatives.
Key Responsibilities Include:
- Leading the finance workstream across acquisitions and post-deal integration.
- Managing completion accounts, earn-outs and deferred consideration.
- Ensuring compliance with Sale & Purchase Agreements (SPAs).
- Building strong relationships with internal stakeholders, external advisers and founders throughout the integration process.

- Developing financial models to support investment decisions and strategic projects.
- Partnering with senior leadership on commercial initiatives, business planning and investment opportunities.
- Developing robust processes and controls to support the continued growth of the business.
