Our client in the Defence Industry is looking for an experienced Commercial Manager who will be managing contracts end to end.

In this role you will be managing the full contract lifecycle from drafting to close-out. Throughout the process you will work on bid and tender support, compliance, performance and risk management, stakeholder management, contract dispute resolution, and reporting.

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.
