About the opportunity:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Purchasing & Supply Chain Manager to lead procurement and supply chain operations within an established manufacturing environment.

This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to move beyond day-to-day purchasing and truly influence strategy, supplier performance, and operational efficiency.

The Role:

You'll take full ownership of the purchasing and supply chain function, ensuring the business is equipped with the right suppliers, at the right cost, delivering the right quality.

Working closely with cross-functional teams, you'll play a key role in aligning supply with demand, improving performance, and supporting long-term business growth.

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.
