Senior Finance Business Partner
Salary: Up to £75,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus
Location: Leeds (Hybrid – 2 days in the office)
Are you a commercially driven Finance Business Partner looking for a role where you can genuinely influence business performance?
This is an outstanding opportunity to join a market-leading organisation in a highly visible Senior Finance Business Partner position, partnering directly with senior operational and commercial leaders across a complex, fast-paced business.
You'll become a trusted advisor to the leadership team, helping shape commercial decisions, challenge performance, improve profitability, and influence strategic direction. This is far more than budgeting and reporting; it's about driving business performance through insight, challenge, and partnership.
The Role
- Partner with senior operational and commercial stakeholders to drive financial performance across multiple business areas.
- Deliver meaningful commercial insight, identifying opportunities to improve revenue, margins, and profitability.
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes.
- Develop financial models and scenario analysis to support strategic decision-making.
- Challenge investment decisions, pricing strategies, and commercial initiatives.
- Present financial performance and recommendations to senior leadership.
- Drive continuous improvement across reporting, planning, and financial processes.
- Lead and develop a small, high-performing finance team while championing best practice across the wider function.
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.
