Zanda is an Executive Search Partner
Zanda works exclusively with high growth start-ups as they look to scale their business with senior talent. Zanda partners with VC’s, Founder’s, CEO’s, and CFO’s when it comes to successfully delivering on key senior appointments.
A high-growth start-up/scale-up needs an exceptional Interim Head of Finance to step into a critical role during a period of transition. This isn't standard FP&A cover, you'll own a broad finance agenda, take oversight of elements of Legal, and work directly with the CEO and senior leadership on the business's biggest commercial and financial calls.
What you'll be doing
Initially, you'll lead FP&A:
- Own the annual budget process through to sign-off
- Headcount planning and workforce modelling
- Compensation and variable pay modelling with RevOps
- Board and management reporting, financials, KPIs, and business metrics
- Commercial business partnering across the organisation
- Pricing model calculations
- Commissions modelling and reporting
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 also oversee the Legal workstream during the CFO's absence:
- Managing and routing corporate and commercial legal queries
- Working with external counsel across the UK and US
- Tracking commercial documentation and legal processes
- Reviewing outgoing order forms
- Partnering with RevOps and the SVP Sales to keep commercial processes moving
Why this role
A genuinely interesting point in the company's growth. Direct CEO exposure, a real voice in strategic decisions, and immediate impact from day one.
