Hiring Locations: Remote (UK or USA)
Role
A hands-on position taking responsibility for key aspects of finance and operations as we grow internationally. We're UK-incorporated and setting up a US parent company - you'll be involved in both day-to-day.
The role extends beyond finance into legal, tax, corporate structure, insurance and company administration.
You won't need to be a lawyer or tax specialist, but you will need to brief external advisers, read what comes back critically and drive it through to completion.
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.
