New Role: Category Manager - Technology & Networks
Technology & Networks is Gigaclear's largest, most complex, and highest-risk spend category — covering network equipment, connectivity, IT hardware and software, and managed services.
Note: this is a hybrid role, with 1-2 days a week working in our Head Office in Abingdon, Oxon.
Our full-fibre network keeps expanding across England, and our customer base is growing each year. Our technology estate has grown just as fast, and we now require an experienced Category Manager to drive its strategy forward.
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.

You will own the Technology & Networks category end to end through building and executing a multi-year category strategy, leading complex sourcing events and negotiations, and turning today's supplier landscape into a consolidated, cost-effective, value-adding one — then managing it from there.
You will therefore bring experience of IT / Technology category management and procurement, working with associated suppliers and partners and will also likely be fully CIPS qualified.
