About The Role

As Volta's Procurement Finance Manager, you'll own the sourcing, negotiation, and management of vendor relationships that keep the business running efficiently. You'll partner closely with Finance, Legal, IT, and other departments to ensure Volta gets the best value, terms, and service levels from every supplier, while building a procurement function that scales with the company.

This role suits someone who enjoys both the strategic side of procurement — building supplier strategy and negotiating major contracts — and the operational side, like managing purchase orders and vendor performance day to day.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Lead end-to-end sourcing and procurement processes, from identifying vendor needs to negotiating contracts and finalizing agreements
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with key suppliers and vendors, monitoring performance against agreed service levels
  • Develop and implement procurement policies, processes, and approval workflows that balance speed with cost control
  • Partner with Finance to manage procurement budgets, track spend, and identify cost-saving opportunities across categories
  • Negotiate pricing, terms, and contracts with vendors, working with Legal to ensure agreements protect Volta's interests
  • Evaluate and onboard new vendors, coordinating due diligence with Legal and Compliance teams as needed
  • Manage the procurement software or tools used to track purchase orders, approvals, and vendor records
  • Provide regular reporting on procurement activity, savings, and vendor performance to leadership
  • Identify opportunities to consolidate suppliers or renegotiate existing contracts for better value
  • Stay current on market trends and supplier options relevant to Volta's evolving needs

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.
