We are partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed business in the North East of England to appoint a Senior Commercial Finance Manager into a key position within the finance team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified finance professional looking to take the next step in their career and gain significant commercial exposure within a PE-backed environment. As the number three in finance, you will work closely with the CFO and CEO on a weekly basis, providing analysis, insight, and challenge to support key commercial and strategic decisions.
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.
