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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Requirements
This is a role for someone who's equally comfortable with the detail and the relationships, confident advising senior stakeholders one day and drafting a watertight tender document the next, with the tact to handle contract disagreements and supplier complaints when they arise.
We're looking for someone with genuine expertise in EU and public procurement regulation and contract management, built through experience or relevant training. You'll bring:
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong influencing and negotiation ability
- Organisational discipline to manage a varied, sometimes unpredictable workload against tight deadlines
Experience using the Atamis sourcing platform and a P2P system is essential, as is a working knowledge of the Equality Act, Freedom of Information Act and Data Protection Act. A relevant qualification (such as CIPS) or experience of public sector tendering would be an advantage, though not essential.
What We Offer
In return, you'll join an organisation genuinely committed to professional development, working in a hybrid model from NHS Resolution's Leeds office.
