Finance Transformation Director | South Yorkshire | circa £80,000
Elevation Recruitment Group are proud to be working with a growing, multi-site business in South Yorkshire as they look to appoint a Finance Transformation Director.
This is not a traditional finance leadership role. If you are someone who gets more satisfaction from driving change than maintaining the status quo, and you would rather be knee deep in a project than producing the same monthly pack on repeat, this is worth reading on.
The role sits at the heart of a significant transformation agenda, covering FP&A, financial modelling, Power BI, systems and process improvement. The business wants someone who can come in and genuinely move things forward, building better tools, sharper insight and more efficient processes across the finance function. Sector experience is not a requirement here. What matters is the ability to deliver change and do it properly.
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.

Why you're a good match

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The other thing worth knowing is where this role leads. There is a clear pathway to CFO / COO within 18 to 24 months for the right person. This is not a vague promise of progression, it is a structured opportunity for someone with the right profile to step up into a seat at the top table.
