We are searching for an exceptional Finance Director to join a Private Equity-backed manufacturing business at a pivotal stage of its development.

This is not a steady-state Finance Director position.

The business has an ambitious agenda encompassing transformation, operational improvement, growth and M&A, and we need an FD capable of playing a central role in delivering it.

Working closely with the CEO as a genuine number two, you’ll combine strategic and commercial leadership with the ability to get under the skin of the operational and financial performance of the business.

The mandate is clear: improve performance, create value and help build a better business.

The opportunity:

  • Partner the CEO on strategy, performance and key commercial decisions
  • Lead a significant finance and business transformation agenda
  • Drive improvements in reporting, forecasting, controls and financial visibility
  • Bring greater commercial and operational insight to decision-making
  • Identify opportunities to improve margin, cash, working capital and overall performance
  • Build, develop and lead a high-performing finance function
  • Work closely with the Private Equity investor and Board
  • Support M&A activity, including evaluation, due diligence and integration
  • Help create the infrastructure and disciplines required to support future growth and value creation

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.

Previous exposure to M&A and post-acquisition integration would be particularly valuable.

You’ll need to be equally credible in the boardroom and on the shop floor, someone who can challenge the CEO one minute, interrogate operational performance the next and then ensure the business actually delivers the required change.

This is a substantial opportunity for a commercially minded, transformational Finance Director who wants to have a genuine influence on the direction and value of a business.
