Why join us?

At DWF, you'll play a key role in delivering an exceptional experience for some of our most important clients. As a Client Contract Delivery Manager, you'll work closely with client stakeholders, operational teams, and senior leaders to ensure contractual commitments are delivered, risks are effectively managed, and opportunities for continuous improvement are identified. This is an opportunity to join a highly respected, collaborative team where your expertise will directly contribute to client retention, satisfaction, and growth. The role is based from either our Manchester or Liverpool office, with a hybrid working pattern of 2 days per week in the office and 3 days remote, alongside occasional travel to client locations as required.

Responsibilities

As the primary operational contact for a portfolio of client contracts, you will:

  • Build strong client relationships, working alongside Client Relationship Partners and key stakeholders to understand client priorities and deliver an outstanding service experience.
  • Support strategic account planning, drive continuous improvement initiatives, manage governance requirements, and oversee the delivery of reporting, training, ESG commitments, and other value-added services.
  • Take ownership of contract delivery throughout the client lifecycle, from onboarding through to ongoing service management.
  • Work closely with operational, Finance and Business Intelligence teams to monitor performance against SLAs and KPIs, analyse financial and contractual data, manage risks, resolve issues, and identify opportunities to improve service quality, efficiency, and profitability.

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.
