Client Procurement Manager

📍 Home-Based with Regular UK Travel

Do you have chef, foodservice, hospitality, or food procurement experience, combined with strong client management skills? This could be the role for you.

This is a client-facing procurement role focused on helping organisations improve how they buy, manage suppliers, and deliver value from their supply chain.

You'll take ownership of a portfolio of client accounts, leading procurement strategy, supplier performance, and day-to-day delivery. The role combines hands-on account management with the opportunity to influence spend, improve efficiency, and strengthen long-term client relationships.

You'll do well here if you're commercially minded, confident working directly with clients, and understand the challenges and opportunities within foodservice operations.

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.
