About the Role

It’s an exciting time to join Redmayne Bentley. After recently celebrating our 150th year in business, we are entering the next stage of our firm‑wide strategy — building on our strong heritage while continuing to evolve, improve and invest in the future.

Our Finance team is looking for a Procurement Manager to lead the development and implementation of a consistent, scalable procurement approach across Redmayne Bentley.

This is a newly created role within our Finance department, responsible for strengthening supplier governance, improving value for money, and ensuring effective oversight of sourcing, contracting, supplier performance and renewals across the firm.

You will work closely with colleagues across Finance, Risk, IT Security and operational teams, acting as a trusted colleague to support procurement decisions while balancing commercial, service, regulatory and information security considerations.

This is a role where someone with experience and a great team ethic can thrive and make a noticeable impact to our aims and mission. Within our close-knit firm, you will not be a small cog in a much larger wheel – you will be valued, appreciated, and respected for your skills as well as rewarded by a firm that truly cares about its colleagues and their wellbeing.

Further specific details about the role can be found in the job description attached to this advert.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead sourcing, tender and supplier selection activities.
  • Negotiate commercial terms, pricing, service levels and contractual arrangements.
  • Maintain the firm’s contract register and renewal pipeline.
  • Implement supplier performance management and review processes.
  • Coordinate supplier due diligence, onboarding and ongoing monitoring.
  • Strengthen procurement controls, approvals and documentation standards.
  • Support visibility of third-party spend, cost savings and value-for-money opportunities.
  • Develop and embed procurement policies, processes and practical guidance.
  • Work closely with Risk, Compliance, IT Security and operational teams to support effective supplier governance.
  • Produce procurement reporting covering key contracts, renewals, supplier performance and savings opportunities.
  • Build strong stakeholder relationships across the firm and act as a trusted adviser on procurement matters.

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.
