Commercial Manager
We're delighted to be partnering with our client in the search for an experienced Commercial Manager, a pivotal role at the heart of the organisation's commercial strategy and growth ambitions.
The Commercial Manager will be responsible for developing and implementing pricing strategies that support business growth, maximise profitability, and align with operational delivery objectives. Working closely with Sales, Strategy, Finance, Bid Management, and Operational teams, you will ensure pricing models are commercially robust, competitive, and sustainable in an evolving market environment.
This is a highly visible and influential position, requiring a strong blend of commercial acumen, analytical expertise, and stakeholder management capability. The role will lead pricing governance, commercial modelling, benchmarking, and scenario analysis, providing valuable insights to support strategic decision-making and ensuring pricing assumptions are continuously validated against business performance.

Acting as the commercial lead where required, you will drive best practice, strengthen commercial disciplines, and play a key role in enhancing pricing capability across the business.
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.
