Operations Buyer & Travel Category Support
Our client, a globally recognised organisation, is currently seeking an experienced and highly organised Operations Buyer & Travel Category Support Specialist to join their team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build on their procurement and operations experience within a fast-paced, international environment.
Working as part of a global function, you’ll play a key role in supporting day-to-day procurement activity, taking ownership of the indirect purchase order lifecycle, from creation and placement through to supplier coordination and invoice reconciliation. You’ll also support global stakeholders with vendor onboarding and maintenance, as well as assisting with IT-related approval processes.
In addition to procurement responsibilities, you’ll act as an important point of contact for the organisation’s travel programme, supporting the management of their Egencia (TMC) account. This will involve handling a range of traveller queries, including those from senior leadership, and identifying opportunities to streamline and improve travel processes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to e-sourcing initiatives, including RFPs and eAuctions.
A strong focus of the role is data and reporting, with responsibility for producing KPI metrics, analysing performance, and supporting the wider business with clear, insight-driven reporting.
