We are recruiting on behalf of a highly successful and well-established organisation for an experienced Contracts Director to lead a significant operational division.
This is a confidential appointment, offering the opportunity to join a respected business with an outstanding reputation, strong financial stability, and ambitious growth plans. Due to the confidential nature of this role, further details will be shared during the recruitment process.

Reporting into the senior leadership team, you will take full responsibility for the successful delivery of multiple projects, ensuring operational excellence, commercial performance, and exceptional client satisfaction.

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.
