4C Associates is a leading commercial, supply chain and operations consultancy delivering transformative solutions that create sustainable impact for our clients. We partner with organisations to provide transformation, change and procurement solutions and to embed durable improvements that make a difference.

We are seeking a Manager with expertise in Consumer Products to join our Retail and Consumer consulting team. You will lead and develop projects across the R&C practice, shaping the service offering to deliver measurable value to clients.

The Role

You’ll lead end-to-end client engagements across Retail & Consumer, managing project teams, building strong stakeholder relationships and delivering measurable outcomes. You’ll also help grow our offering through thought leadership, business development, and mentoring team members.

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.
