Head of Operations, Technology & Finance (Contract – Outside IR35)

London (Mayfair) | 6-Month Initial Term | Immediate Start

A boutique private credit manager is undergoing transformational growth and now requires an experienced interim operations leader.

This high-impact, multidisciplinary role sits at the heart of the business, reporting directly to the CEO. You’ll oversee investment operations, lead finance oversight, and manage technology and vendor strategies—ushering in process improvements and driving strategic growth.


Core Responsibilities

  • Lead a team of three in investment operations, fostering efficiency and process enhancement.
  • Overhaul and refine the operating model, including assessing outsourcing opportunities.
  • Act as a technology steward, managing outsourced IT providers and shaping long-term tech strategy.
  • Ensure finance function strength, guaranteeing accurate and strategic reporting.
  • Serve as the senior escalation point for operations, vendors, and major projects.
  • Assist in broader COO initiatives, including navigating a relocation transition.

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.
