Job Title: Finance Manager – Operations

I am recruiting on behalf of a well-established, high-growth foodservice and distribution business looking for a commercially minded Finance Manager – Operations to business partner their Operations Director and leadership team across multiple sites.

This is a genuinely commercial finance role, not a back office one. You'll be the key link between Operations and Finance, providing the analysis, governance and challenge that drives performance across the business.

What you'll be doing:

  • Business partnering the Operations Director and senior operational team, translating financial performance into commercial insight they can act on
  • Owning weekly, monthly and quarterly reporting, KPIs, variance analysis and commentary
  • Leading annual budgets and rolling forecasts, working closely with operational stakeholders to secure buy in
  • Building business cases and capital expenditure proposals to support investment decisions
  • Taking ownership of the P&L for operational sites, working closely with the Management Accounts team
  • Supporting the external audit process and contributing to the statutory accounts
  • Identifying cost efficiencies and process improvements that drive profitability

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.
