About the Role
Full P&L ownership. A broader commercial remit. More visibility with senior leadership. And the opportunity to lead and develop two Finance Business Partners.
We’re working on a confidential Head of Finance search for a well-known listed business in Leicester. You don’t need to have held the Head of Finance title before. This is aimed at someone ambitious who has built solid experience in commercial finance or FP&A and is ready to take the next step.
You’ll take ownership of the financial performance of a major part of the group, working closely with senior commercial and operational stakeholders to understand performance, challenge decisions and influence what happens next.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll lead the budgeting and forecasting cycle, assess investment decisions and make sure the business has the insight it needs to improve performance. You’ll also manage two Finance Business Partners, giving you the chance to build your leadership experience while taking on a much broader remit.
It’s a proper step up role. A bigger team, full P&L responsibility and genuine exposure across a large listed business.
The company has a good track record of developing its people, with realistic scope for further progression for someone who performs well.
What’s on Offer
- £70,000 – £75,000
- Car or car allowance
- Bonus up to 30%
- Private medical insurance
- 33 days’ holiday including bank holidays which increases with time
