Financial Director
Finance Director | Track to CFO
Location: East Midlands Salary: c£150,000 + bonus + profit share + healthcare + benefits
This is a rare opportunity to join a fast moving, high growth consumer business at an important stage in its development.
The business has grown quickly and has built a clear position in its market through a simple, efficient and customer focused operating model. It is ambitious, commercially led and moves at real pace.
This is a key Finance Director hire, with a clear route towards CFO.
The finance function has been through a meaningful period of change. Controls have improved, reporting is in a better place, the team is leaner, and there is now a platform to build from. The next Finance Director will need to keep that momentum going.
About the Role
You will lead a small finance team and take ownership of:
- Reporting
- Forecasting
- Cash
- Working capital
- Controls
- Margin
- Cost management
- Audit
- External relationships
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.
You will also work closely with the senior leadership team, bringing clear commercial insight around performance, growth, cost control and operational decision making.
This role needs someone who can bring structure without slowing the business down. The culture is quick, direct and entrepreneurial. Decisions are made at pace, so the right person will need to be comfortable operating close to the detail, reacting quickly, and helping the business make good commercial decisions without unnecessary layers of process.
Ideal Background
The ideal background would be a fast-paced consumer, e-commerce, wholesale, distribution, multi-site, product or operationally complex business. Somewhere stock, margin, cash, service and cost control really matter.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience in a more structured environment could be useful, particularly around controls, governance, reporting, audit and external stakeholders, but this is not a role for someone who needs a slow-moving corporate setting.
Requirements
You will need to be:
- A qualified accountant
- Credible with senior stakeholders
- Calm under pressure
- Able to balance hands-on leadership with broader strategic input
This is a full-time, office-based role with some flexibility in the East Midlands. It will suit someone already based locally, or within a realistic daily commute, as the business is focused on candidates who can be close to the team from the outset.
