IS THIS SOMETHING THAT INTERESTS YOU?
This is a newly created, high-impact role at the heart of the Foods Connected finance function. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will act as a strategic and commercial partner across the business, providing the analysis, insight, and challenge that enables confident decision-making at every level.
You will be equally comfortable modeling a new commercial opportunity, preparing board-ready departmental performance packs, interrogating CRM and product data for revenue insight, and supporting the integration of acquired businesses into the financial infrastructure.
This role spans the full FP&A and business partnering remit: analytical depth paired with the communication skills and confidence to engage with senior stakeholders credibly.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Commercial Analysis & Business Planning
- Own the annual business planning and reforecasting cycle, working closely with the CFO and senior leadership to build a coherent, data-driven financial plan across the group.
- Develop and maintain the group's financial model, including ARR drivers, revenue bridge analysis, cost base evolution, and multi-currency consolidation.
- Lead commercial analysis to support pricing decisions, customer profitability assessments, and strategic initiatives.
- Produce monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting packs for the CFO, Board, and investor stakeholders — translating financial data into clear, actionable narrative.
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.
