REGIONAL HEAD OF PROCUREMENT | INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING

A listed, multi-site industrial manufacturer is looking for a Regional Head of Procurement to lead delivery of the next phase of a multi-year procurement transformation.

THE MANDATE

This is a senior, commercially exposed role. You'll own a defined regional spend base, lead category strategy from a should-cost and TCO lens rather than just negotiation, and be the driving force behind supplier consolidation, dual-sourcing, and a maturing SRM framework.

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You'll operate in a matrix structure, reporting into the Global Procurement Director, working alongside legacy stakeholders who haven't always had procurement at the table. Building that credibility, and building a capable team around you, is as much the job as the category work itself.

WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE

  • Proven leadership at Head of/Director level within a multi-site manufacturing or industrial environment
  • Should-cost and TCO-led category strategy, with a demonstrable EBIT or working capital impact
  • Experience standing up SRM and dual-sourcing frameworks from a low base of maturity
  • D365 or comparable eProcurement platform experience
  • A track record of building and developing teams in functions that were underdeveloped when you arrived
