The Opportunity
A leading provider of facilities management services is looking for a Global Procurement Lead to support one of its flagship partnerships within the food and beverage manufacturing sector. This is a highly visible role with genuine ownership, offering the opportunity to influence procurement strategy across multiple countries, engage with senior stakeholders, and shape the future direction of procurement within a complex global account.

Key Responsibilities
- Lead procurement strategy across a global, multi-country customer portfolio
- Deliver measurable value through cost optimisation, service improvement, efficiency gains, and risk mitigation
- Develop and strengthen strategic supplier relationships that support long-term business objectives
- Influence senior stakeholders across both service provider and client organisations
- Leverage data, analytics, and market insights to identify opportunities and support decision-making
- Drive supplier performance and value creation programmes, including sustainability and supplier diversity initiatives
- Champion continuous improvement and procurement best practices across the account
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.
