Remote first
We are currently working with a growing specialist executive search firm that partners with founders, CEOs and investors to appoint CFOs and senior finance leaders into VC and PE-backed businesses across the UK and US.

The position offers the opportunity:
- Lead research across high-profile CFO and finance leadership mandates

- Own market mapping, candidate identification, outreach and assessment
- Drive improvements to research processes, documentation and delivery standards
- Help shape and build the research function as the business continues to grow
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.
They’re particularly interested in individuals with executive search experience and exposure to:
- either VC-backed startups and scaleups; and/or CFO and senior finance leadership searches
The business operates on a predominantly retained model, has a strong reputation within the investor-backed ecosystem, and offers a remote-first environment with regular London meet ups.

Location: Remote-first, with a preference for candidates who can regularly attend meetings in London. Applications are welcomed from individuals across the UK, and exceptional candidates further afield will also be considered if they have a strong track record in Executive Search.
If you’d be open to hearing more, I’d be happy to share further details and arrange a confidential conversation.
