Senior Contract Finance manager

Role Overview

We are seeking an enthusiastic and dynamic senior contract finance manager to provide contract finance support across a wide portfolio of ICB contracts. You will understand the NHS Payment scheme and how to monitor performance against a healthcare contract. Working as both part of the team and independently, you will hold providers to account and provide analysis and reports internally and externally on provider performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver contract finance management on a wide range of provider contracts ensuring value for money and robust financial control.
  • Act as the prime contact and expert authority on a range of provider contracts, reconciling and reporting on the position monthly.
  • Identify and raise challenges to providers where activity does not meet contractual or technical requirements.
  • Help interpret and implement local and national policies, particularly relating to the NHS Payment Scheme or Standard Contract, and advise on the impact for a range of provider contracts.
  • Liaise effectively with contracting and commissioning colleagues, and provider colleagues to ensure information is shared and reported appropriately.

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.
