Southampton | 12-Month Fixed-Term Contract | Competitive Salary + Benefits
Hays are recruiting for a Finance Project Coordinator to join a growing organisation in Southampton on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This exciting opportunity has arisen due to the commencement of a large-scale project, and the successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the financial management and administration of the project.
The Role
Working closely with the Project Finance Business Partner, you will be responsible for processing high volumes of supplier invoices across multiple currencies, ensuring accurate financial records are maintained and supporting the reconciliation of supplier costs against client payments. This is a detail-focused position requiring strong organisational skills and the ability to work to deadlines in a busy environment.
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.
