A market-leading international industrial business is seeking a commercially-minded finance leader to join a strategically important division operating at the heart of a complex, commodity-sensitive supply chain.
Sitting within a highly visible leadership team and reporting to the Finance Director, you will combine commercial finance, pricing strategy, market insight, and long-term planning to help shape business decisions across a multi-billion-pound operation. Working closely with senior operational, procurement, and finance leaders, you will play a key role in understanding market dynamics, driving pricing strategy, and ensuring the business can successfully navigate changing economic and commodity conditions.
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.
