Build your career while helping shape the future of procurement
Zureli is on a mission to prove how procurement is a force for good.
We help organisations reduce costs, improve commercial performance and achieve meaningful sustainability outcomes. Our clients range from food manufacturers and global technology businesses to charities and hotel groups.
We are looking for an ambitious, energetic procurement professional with several years of relevant experience who is ready to step up, lead client projects and help grow our commercial practice.

What you will do
- Contribute to major procurement programmes while leading your own sourcing projects and client workstreams.
- Lead sourcing projects from planning through to implementation.
- Analyse supplier, contract and spend data to identify savings and commercial opportunities.
- Work across categories including technology, marketing, HR, professional services, facilities and travel.
- Turn complex information into clear recommendations with procurement specialists and data scientists.
- Improve cost, supplier performance and sustainability outcomes.

- Communicate recommendations and progress clearly.
- Overcome barriers to delivery and help ensure benefits are realised.
- Contribute to proposals, client growth and the development of Zureli’s services and tools.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Above all, you will be obsessed with customer success: understanding what clients need, taking ownership and creating measurable value.
What you will bring
This role is likely to suit someone with around two to five years’ relevant experience, although ability, potential and attitude matter more than a precise number of years.
You will have:
- Experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, commercial management or a related role.
- Experience owning sourcing projects or workstreams.
- Strong analytical skills and confidence working with data.
- The ability to build relationships and communicate effectively at different levels.
- A practical, problem-solving approach and a record of following through.
- An interest in sustainability and responsible business.
- The flexibility to work on a hybrid basis and travel to client sites when required.
