About Thrivin
Thrivin Gymwear is a fast-growing women’s activewear brand built around a simple belief: when you look good, you feel powerful.
Founded in 2023, Thrivin creates sculpting, confidence-enhancing activewear designed to support women through every workout and every part of daily life. Blending elevated aesthetics with performance-driven product, the brand has quickly built a loyal global community and is now scaling rapidly across marketing, e-commerce, operations, and international growth.
As Thrivin enters its next phase, we’re looking for ambitious, commercially driven people who thrive in fast-paced environments and are excited to help scale a globally recognised activewear brand.
The Role
You'll own the integrity of Thrivin's numbers as we scale. Day-to-day bookkeeping stays with our external provider — you'll manage them tightly, raise the bar on quality and timeliness, and own the relationship. The brief is bigger than that: clean monthly close, books we can defend in audit, reconciliations that tie, and statutory accounts that don't surprise anyone.
A key near-term project is making sure our US market is set up properly from a finance perspective. The legal entity, US banking, and tax registrations are already in place. What you'll own is making sure US bookkeeping is set up correctly with our external provider, multi-currency accounting flows cleanly between EU and US, and ongoing compliance (sales tax, state filings, intercompany) is buttoned down.
You'll also stand up the budgeting and forecasting process and oversee FP&A. The plan is to bring in an FP&A Analyst to sit alongside you — you'll help shape that hire and lead them once they're in seat, owning process, controls and data quality while they own modelling, KPIs and board pack narrative.
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.
