Head of Commercial Finance

Start Date: ASAP
Contract: Inside IR35 | Highly Competitive Day Rate
Duration: 8 Months
Location: Watford

We’re partnering with an exciting, commercially driven business to appoint an experienced Head of Commercial Finance on an 8-month contract.
This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused finance leader to step into a high-impact role, working closely with senior leadership to influence strategic decision-making, drive commercial performance and support business growth.
We’re particularly interested in candidates with experience in gaming, FMCG, sales-led or marketing-driven organisations where commercial finance plays a pivotal role in shaping business strategy.

The Opportunity

As Head of Commercial Finance you’ll provide commercial and financial leadership across the organisation, partnering with senior stakeholders to support revenue growth, pricing strategy and commercial decision-making.
This is a hands-on leadership role, requiring someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking with a practical, detail-orientated approach. You'll challenge, influence and collaborate across the business, helping to maximise commercial performance during an exciting period of change.

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.
