Procurement Manager
We're looking for a Procurement Manager for a public sector organisation, based in Leeds (hybrid), on an initial 6 month contract running to March 2027, paying up to £600 per day (Inside IR35).
About the Role
This is a hybrid role with an expectation to attend the office in Leeds around 3 days a week. You can be work from Manchester or Blackpool as a location if it is more convenient.
The successful Procurement Manager will support both BAU external resource management and a strategic resourcing programme. You'll run operational and programme-based procurement activity, manage supplier relationships and performance, and work closely with Legal, Finance and business stakeholders to keep procurement compliant.
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.
