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 is about more than managing relationships. You’ll need the commercial strength to challenge sophisticated suppliers, hold them to account and use contractual levers when performance falls short, while maintaining positive, productive partnerships.
We’re Looking For Someone With
- Significant supplier performance management experience
- Strong experience across large-scale technology/change programmes
- The ability to read, understand and interpret complex contracts and translate them into measurable deliverables
- Strong knowledge of SLAs, KPIs, service credits, remedies, change control and escalation
- The confidence and gravitas to challenge senior suppliers and engage C-suite stakeholders
- Exceptional communication and negotiation skills
