Your Mission

To provide essential administrative and operational support to both the Procurement and Accounts teams within the manufacturing division, ensuring efficient processes, accurate record-keeping, and smooth daily operations.

HOW WILL YOU MAKE AN IMPACT?

Procurement & Purchasing Support

  • Process, create, and accurately track purchase orders (POs) within the internal database or ERP system.
  • Reconcile invoices, match packing slips with purchase orders, and efficiently resolve basic billing discrepancies.
  • Liaise effectively with vendors to confirm order details, pricing, delivery schedules, and product availability.
  • Monitor inventory levels and manage the ordering of general office facility supplies and consumable factory stock.
  • Track the status of open orders and coordinate closely with warehouse or receiving teams to ensure timely and accurate deliveries.

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.
