Contract Manager | Theale | Permanent

🚀 We’re hiring: Contract Manager – Theale (3 days in office)

Are you an experienced Contract Manager with a strong commercial mindset and a background in telecommunications, infrastructure, utilities, technology, or a related sector?

We’re looking for a Contract Manager to join our Sales & Commercial Team and take ownership of a portfolio of complex Power as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Coverage as a Service (CaaS) contracts.

This is a key role focused on managing the full contract lifecycle, strengthening customer relationships, ensuring SLA and KPI performance, mitigating commercial risk, and supporting revenue growth.

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.
