This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in one of the UK’s most important infrastructure programmes, supporting the continued rollout of fibre network upgrades. As Fibre Upgrade CPP Manager (Finance), you will take ownership of ensuring financial accuracy, insight, and control across a major capital programme, helping to shape decisions that directly impact delivery at scale. You’ll be working at the heart of a fast-moving environment where your expertise will influence how investments are tracked, managed, and optimised.
In this role, you’ll partner closely with delivery and operational teams, acting as the go-to expert for all finance-related matters. From managing month-end processes, forecasting and budgeting, to identifying risks and driving continuous improvement, you’ll provide clear, actionable insight to senior stakeholders. You’ll also help evolve reporting, tools, and processes, ensuring the programme remains efficient, compliant, and future-ready as new technologies and workstreams are introduced.
Who we are
At Virgin Media O₂, we connect people to the moments that matter most. Virgin Media leads the UK for broadband reliability, speed, and overall performance, while O₂ keeps people connected on the move with award-winning coverage.
We’re also proud to be named one of the Financial Times Top 500 Best Employers for 2026, based on one of the UK’s largest employee satisfaction surveys.
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.
Join us and you’ll be part of a team that stays curious, positive, and focused on making life easier for our customers and each other. We’re investing in the future of connectivity, from expanding next-generation 5G to exploring satellite-supported solutions that help reach rural communities and hard-to-connect places.
You’ll work with people who back good ideas and give you plenty of room to grow. So if you’re looking for a place where you can feel supported, trusted, and genuinely valued, you’ll feel right at home here.
Our ways of working
We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days a month connecting with each other in person.
That doesn’t just mean time in the office – it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days. What matters is making those moments count – so when we come together, it benefits everyone.
The must haves
- CIMA, ACCA, or ICAEW accounting qualification
- Strong experience in financial forecasting, budgeting, and scenario analysis
- Strong attention to detail with a high level of accuracy in financial reporting
- Experience managing month-end processes including reconciliation and variance analysis
- Ability to present financial insights to senior stakeholders
The other stuff we are looking for
- Experience working on large-scale programmes, ideally within telecoms
- Knowledge of Oracle or similar finance systems
- Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to challenge constructively
- Experience using Power BI or working with data visualisation tools
- A continuous improvement mindset with the ability to enhance processes and tools

What's in it for you
We know life isn’t just about work, so our benefits are built to support you in the moments that matter. You’ll get Bupa healthcare, wellbeing support, life cover, a pension, and generous holiday – plus your birthday off.
And there’s more. Enjoy some extra perks on us, with optional electric vehicle lease and Cycle2Work schemes, dental insurance, neurodiversity assessments, and brilliant discounts on broadband, TV, and mobile. You’ll even get access to the Virgin Family platform and the O₂ Priority app, with exclusive rewards, experiences, and chances to attend events at The O₂ and beyond.
Next steps
If this feels like a place where you can belong, we’d love to see what you can do. Once you apply, the next steps might include a call with a recruiter, a video interview, an interview with the hiring manager, and a task or assessment.
We’ll also ask about any adjustments you might need, and we’ll do our best to make them happen.
We review applications and interview throughout the advert window, so it’s worth applying sooner rather than later. If you’re offered the role, the offer will be subject to background checks, including a criminal record check and, for some roles, a financial background check.
