Senior Finance Manager

£50,000 - £53,000 FTE | 30-37.5 hours per week | Gloucestershire | Hybrid Working

Some finance roles maintain the status quo.

This isn't one of them.

We're partnering with a highly respected, purpose-driven organisation that delivers life-changing support across communities and has ambitious plans for the future. As a key member of the senior leadership team, you'll have the opportunity to shape strategy, influence decision making at Board level, and help ensure the organisation remains financially strong, sustainable and ready to maximise its impact.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a commercially minded finance leader who wants more than just month-end reporting. You'll be the trusted financial adviser to the CEO, Board and senior stakeholders, leading strategic financial planning while developing a high-performing finance function.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive and working closely with Board members and key committees, you will:

  • Lead the financial strategy of the organisation, ensuring long-term sustainability and growth.
  • Drive budgeting, forecasting and financial planning processes.
  • Deliver insightful management information that supports strategic decision making.
  • Lead cashflow management, financial modelling and scenario planning.
  • Oversee statutory reporting, audit and regulatory compliance.
  • Develop and strengthen financial governance, controls and risk management.
  • Manage and develop the finance team.
  • Partner with operational leaders to improve financial understanding and accountability across the organisation.
  • Support executive decision-making through robust analysis and clear commercial insight.

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.
