Head of Financial Planning & Analysis
Midlands | c£100,000 dependent on experience
We're partnering with a global, commercially driven business in manufacturing space to find a Head of FP&A who wants to sit at the heart of how the organisation performs, not just how it reports.
This is a business with genuine scale and a well established name in its sector, but it hasn't lost the parts that make a finance team worth joining. There's a talented, tight knit finance function here, and a culture that genuinely backs its people, with a track record of developing talent internally and giving strong performers a clear runway to progress. People stay here, and they build careers here.
The role
This is a pivotal position. You'll act as the key link between finance and the wider business, translating numbers into insight that shapes real commercial decisions, and making sure the operational side of the business understands not just what the numbers say, but why they matter. You'll be a genuine business partner to leadership, not someone sitting on the periphery of decision making.
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.
Alongside that commercial influence, you'll own financial reporting and control, lead the budgeting and forecasting cycle, and build the internal frameworks that let the business scale with confidence. You'll also lead and develop a finance team, with real emphasis on building capability beneath you as the function grows.
What you'll be doing
- Leading budgeting and forecasting to support business planning
- Monitoring and driving performance, identifying corrective action to keep the business on track against plan
- Acting as a key finance partner to the business unit head, shaping strategies that support long term growth
- Building strategic relationships with stakeholders across the wider business, not just within finance
- Leading and developing the finance team to maintain a high performing, efficient function
- Providing financial insight and analysis that genuinely influences strategic decision making
- Liaising with external auditors and regulatory bodies as required
- Maintaining and enhancing internal financial controls and procedures
