Descriptif du poste

We're looking for a commercially-minded professional to join the Supply Chain function and support the delivery of one of the UK's most significant infrastructure programmes.

As a Commercial Manager, you'll take ownership of the commercial aspects of key project contracts, ensuring strong governance, effective supplier management, and successful commercial outcomes. Working across procurement, contract delivery, and project stakeholders, you'll play an important role in protecting commercial interests while driving value throughout the contract lifecycle.

Some of the main responsibilities of the Commercial Manager will include:

  • Acting as the commercial lead for allocated contract packages, providing support from initial procurement activities through to contract completion.
  • Partnering with project teams to develop effective commercial strategies that align with project objectives and delivery requirements.
  • Supporting tendering exercises including commercial evaluations, supplier negotiations, and contract award recommendations.
  • Managing commercial relationships with suppliers and contractors, promoting collaboration whilst ensuring contractual obligations are fulfilled.
  • Reviewing contract performance and identifying opportunities to improve value, reduce risk, and enhance project outcomes.
  • Leading the assessment and management of contract variations, compensation events, claims, and commercial disputes.
  • Producing commercial analysis, forecasts, and management reports to support informed business decision-making.
  • Ensuring robust commercial governance and maintaining accurate contract documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Working closely with procurement, legal, project controls, and delivery teams to resolve contractual issues and maintain programme momentum.
  • Supporting the development of less experienced team members and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement.

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.
