Contracts Director

Barnsley

Circa £100,000 Basic Salary + Profit Related Bonus (£15,000-£25,000) + Company Car + Private Healthcare + Pension + Excellent Benefits

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.

The Opportunity

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.

Leading a team of 3 to 4 Contracts Managers, you'll provide strategic direction, mentor your team, and drive continuous improvement across project delivery. This role would suit an experienced senior contracts professional who combines strong commercial awareness with outstanding leadership and relationship-building skills.

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.
