Commercial and Finance Manager

Glasgow City Council Digital Services £55,388 - £64,300

The Council is seeking to recruit a Commercial and Finance Manager to evolve the commercial and financial management of the Council’s contracts with multiple Managed Service Providers and other contracts, and associated financial planning, modelling and analysis. This role plays a key role in preparing and delivering future procurement activity.

You will be:

  • Working at the heart of major digital programmes and supplier relationships.
  • Influencing strategic investment decisions.
  • Helping leaders understand risk, value and opportunity.
  • Shaping commercial approaches that directly impact frontline services and citizens.

You’ll be part of a supportive, ambitious team that values expertise, collaboration and professional challenge – with the space to use your judgement, exercise ownership, and grow your influence.

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.
