Team Lead – Procurement & Operations

Our client is a well-established international organization seeking a people-focused leader to oversee a broad operational portfolio spanning Procurement, Facilities, Fleet Management, and Business Support Services.

This is a highly visible leadership opportunity offering exposure across multiple business functions and the chance to make a tangible impact on operational performance, employee experience, and continuous improvement initiatives. The role is particularly suited to individuals looking to further develop their leadership capabilities while operating in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

The Role

Reporting into senior management, you will lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for delivering efficient and customer-focused operational services across the organization. You will play a key role in developing talent, driving operational excellence, improving processes, and partnering with stakeholders to support business objectives.

The position combines strategic thinking with hands-on leadership and offers significant variety, making it ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, managing change, and working across different business functions.

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.
