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.
About you:
- Previous experience leading finance operations, payments or accounts payable within a complex organisation
- Strong understanding of payment processes, banking platforms and financial controls
- Experience working in a multi-entity and ideally multi-currency environment
- Proven people management or supervisory experience
- Strong systems capability, with ERP exposure (NetSuite experience would be advantageous)
- Highly organised, proactive and someone who enjoys improving processes
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification is desirable but by no means essential
