Job Description

Role Summary

The LDG Global Operations Finance Partner provides financial leadership for the manufacturing and delivery of products across the Clinical Diagnostics, Cell & Biomolecular, and Liquid Phase divisions. LDG Global Operations spans 10+ factories worldwide and supports more than $2B in annual revenue. This role serves as a key member of the Global Operations Finance leadership team, partnering with executive leadership, manufacturing site leaders, value stream leaders, and cross-functional teams to improve financial performance, guide strategic decisions, and enable enterprise transformation.

The role requires a highly collaborative leader with strong financial acumen, executive presence, and the confidence to influence action across a complex global operations environment. The individual should be able to act as an insight engine for the business—connecting the dots across financial, operational, and commercial performance; turning data into clear recommendations; and helping GO leaders focus on the few actions that matter most.

Specific Areas of Responsibility

  • Serve as the primary Finance Partner for the LDG Value Stream Leader and Europe Manufacturing leadership team, supporting growth, margin expansion, operational excellence, and strategic decision-making.
  • Lead financial support for executive reviews, including WD reviews, LRP, Strategic Planning Process (SPP), annual operating plans, capital allocation reviews, and CFO staff engagements.
  • Own core financial planning and performance management processes, including monthly close, forecasts, shipments, gross margin, productivity, and operating performance.
  • Partner with business leaders on strategic initiatives, investment prioritization, capital allocation, network strategy, transformation programs, and business cases.
  • Translate complex financial and operational data into actionable insights, clearly communicating key issues, risks, opportunities, and recommendations to senior leadership.
  • Collaborate with Division partners to strengthen commercial alignment, revenue performance, and enterprise performance management.
  • Support a global operations network spanning multiple manufacturing sites, value streams, regions, and time zones while driving standardization, best-practice sharing, and continuous improvement.
  • Advance reporting standardization, process automation, and data-driven decision-making through SAP, Power BI, advanced analytics, and digital finance tools.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a geographically dispersed global finance team, fostering collaboration, accountability, inclusion, and talent development across cultures and organizational boundaries.

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.
