Inventory Finance Analyst

Plymouth, Devon

Competitive Salary

Our client, a large and successful organisation, is seeking an experienced Inventory Finance Analyst to join their finance team on a full-time, permanent basis.

This is a key analytical role at the heart of the finance and supply chain teams. You’ll use data and commercial insight to understand inventory performance, identify risks and opportunities, and help drive better purchasing decisions and maximise profitability.

You’ll work closely with purchasing, merchandising, supply chain and senior stakeholders, turning complex inventory data into clear, actionable recommendations.

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.
