About the Role

The role will give you a great chance to work with both finance and non-finance stakeholders across Auto Trader as you'll be responsible for our regular KPI reporting and tracking our commitment scorecard throughout the year. You'll be responsible for producing monthly finance packs for the Auto Trader leadership team and Board of Directors with a focus on accuracy and quality while maintaining strong time management to meet deadlines.
A key part of the role will include supporting the group's annual planning cycle, including our midterm plan and annual budgeting process.

You'll be able to highlight areas of risk and opportunity across the business and ensure we have the right data and analysis to support these workstreams.
As part of a wider commercial finance team, you will have the opportunity to work on a range of ad hoc projects around analysis and controls with our business partnering and pricing teams in addition to supporting the FP&A Manager. By collaborating on a range of team projects, you'll be given the opportunity to grow and develop in the role too.
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.
