Finance Director

HOSPITALITY LEADER, A SEAT AT THE TOP TABLE, STRONG BACKING

What's in it for you?

  • £95,000 base
  • The most senior finance role in the business, reporting directly to the MD
  • Board-level visibility and real influence on funding and growth strategy
  • A fast-moving, entrepreneurial business where finance sits at the heart of big decisions
  • A multi-site role, with some travel between venues

Who are they?

A fantastic brand operating a growing multi-site estate. The business has raised investment to open its venues and has loyal shareholders behind it. It now wants a senior, hands-on finance leader to bring rigour, visibility and confidence to the numbers and to help unlock the funding for what comes next. Expect pace, pragmatism and plenty of big conversations.

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.
