Getting the numbers right is only part of the challenge; the real value comes from turning them into decisions that improve performance, margins and growth. As Finance Manager, you'll have the scope to influence commercial decisions, strengthen reporting and controls, and work closely with senior stakeholders to help shape business performance.

Working within an established manufacturing environment, you'll take ownership of core reporting, forecasting and cashflow activities while identifying opportunities to improve commercial results. It's a hands-on position where your analysis and insight will have a direct impact on how the business operates and grows.

What's in it for you

  • GBP 50,000: GBP 55,000 salary depending on experience.
  • Hybrid working, with three days each week in the Brierley Hill office.
  • UK healthcare membership and access to a free Employee Assistance Programme helpline.
  • An early finish every Friday.
  • Christmas shutdown alongside your annual leave entitlement.
  • The opportunity to influence commercial performance and improve reporting within a manufacturing business.

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.
