Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
This role is specifically focused on UK and European branded suppliers and will not involve sourcing own-brand products from China.
Requirements
We’re looking for someone who understands that good buying is not just about placing orders. It’s about margin, stock turn, cash, supplier relationships, and making strong commercial decisions.
Experience within tools, hardware, construction products, trade supplies, or a similar sector would be ideal.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
About the Opportunity
This is a hands-on role with real responsibility, direct access to senior management, and the opportunity to have a significant impact on the next stage of our growth.
