Interim Procurement Manager

Contract: 10 Weeks

Location: Hybrid (2-4 visits a month in Hertfordshire)

Day Rate: £400 Inside IR35

Start: ASAP


We're supporting a large engineering and infrastructure business looking for an experienced Interim Procurement Manager to join their growing procurement function on a short-term contract.

This is a hands-on delivery role focused on managing procurement projects from end to end. You'll identify savings opportunities, lead sourcing exercises, negotiate with suppliers, work closely with senior stakeholders, and ensure procurement initiatives are successfully delivered.

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.
