Global Sourcing & Procurement Lead

We’re looking for a Global Sourcing & Procurement Lead to join our global Mars account – a high-impact role with real ownership and visibility.

You’ll lead procurement strategy across multiple countries, working closely with both Sodexo and client stakeholders to deliver value, build strong supplier partnerships, and drive performance.

This is not a traditional procurement role. You’ll have the opportunity to shape how procurement works on the account – with the autonomy to challenge, improve, and introduce new ways of working.

Join Sodexo and be part of something greater. You belong in a team where you can act with purpose and thrive in your own way.

Main Responsibilities

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.
