Contract Manager | £60,000–£65,000 | Midlands | Immediate Start
I’m working with a global logistics business that is looking for an experienced Contract Manager to step into a high-profile customer account at a critical point in its growth. This is not a contract administration role.
You’ll be the senior commercial and operational interface between the customer and the site, taking ownership of the contract, challenging performance, managing difficult conversations and making sure both sides are delivering what has been agreed.
The account is complex, high value and commercially important, with a demanding customer and a significant peak period approaching. You’ll need to be comfortable walking into an environment where there are competing priorities, strong personalities and plenty to get your teeth into.
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.
The role will involve:
- Acting as the key point of contact for the customer on contractual and operational matters
- Ensuring the contract is understood, managed and delivered effectively
- Managing challenging internal and external stakeholder relationships
- Monitoring performance, KPIs, SLAs and commercial commitments
- Identifying contractual, operational and commercial risks
- Leading conversations around service performance, change and improvement
- Using data and analysis to understand what is really happening across the operation
- Working closely with Operations, KAM, Commercial and senior leadership to drive resolution

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We’re looking for someone who has managed complex customer relationships within a logistics, supply chain, 3PL, outsourcing or similarly operational environment.
You could come from a traditional Contract Management background, but we're equally interested in strong Operations Managers who have substantial client-facing responsibility and a good understanding of the commercial side of their operation.
What matters most is that you can operate confidently with customers, understand the detail behind a contract, analyse performance, challenge constructively and bring structure to a complex situation.
This is initially a 6-month FTC, with a genuine opportunity for the role to become permanent.
