Senior Finance Business Partner

£80,000–£90,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Hertfordshire (Hybrid working)

Our client is one of the most recognisable and respected organisations in the UK — a market-leading business with a reputation for developing exceptional finance talent. This is a rare opportunity to join a world-class finance function in a role that genuinely sits at the heart of commercial decision-making.

The Role

This is not a reporting role. As Finance Business Partner, you will be the trusted finance voice to a senior commercial leadership team — challenging, influencing and shaping strategy at Director level. You will translate complex financial insight into clear commercial recommendations, drive performance across a significant business area and play a central role in long-term planning and investment 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.
