SC Cleared Procurement Consultants

Role Summary
We are seeking Consultants, Senior Consultants, and Managers to support high impact Defence and Security programmes.
In this role, you will help clients design and deliver complex procurement and commercial strategies that underpin mission-critical national systems. You will work across the full lifecycle of engagements - from shaping strategy and engaging the market through to supporting negotiations and implementation.
This is a client-facing consulting role, combining strategic thinking with hands-on delivery in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop procurement and commercial strategies, defining clear options for clients (e.g. commercial models, pricing approaches, route to market).
- Support the creation of key procurement documentation, including PQQs, ITNs, contracts, and Heads of Terms.
- Conduct detailed analysis to generate insights and build evidence-based recommendations.
- Support commercial negotiations between public sector clients and suppliers.
- Help design contract management operating models to ensure long-term value delivery.
- Contribute to business cases, transformation programmes, and solution design activities.
- Build strong working relationships with clients, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g. digital, cyber, analytics) to deliver integrated solutions.
- Work within Agile delivery environments, contributing to project planning and delivery.
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.
