Your new company

A FTSE-listed multinational services business headquartered in Manchester, providing specialist technical and operational solutions to customers across a diverse range of global markets. Following a significant transformation programme, the business is now entering its next phase of growth, focused on expanding its market-leading capabilities and driving long-term value creation.

Your new role

This is a high-profile opportunity to join a dynamic and evolving Group Finance function where you'll play a key role in delivering best-in-class financial reporting, technical accounting and governance across a global business. Beyond overseeing the Group's month-end, interim and year-end reporting processes, you'll drive improvements in reporting quality, automation, controls and business insight, whilst partnering with senior leaders across the organisation on forecasting, strategic planning and transformation initiatives. The role offers exceptional exposure, variety and influence, making it an ideal opportunity for an ambitious finance professional looking to develop their career within a complex, international environment.

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.
