Account Director

Permanent

Location: Solihull (Two days per month on site)

Salary: £65,000 - £75,000 plus up to double salary OTE + £3,600 Car Allowance

The Company

I am working with one of the country's leading providers of Network Solutions to some of Britain's biggest and most well-known organisations. For over 20 years they have delivered outstanding networking, security, and connectivity solutions which has given them a fantastic reputation. Their 'customer first' approach combined with their commitment to innovation, nurturing talent, and technical know-how mean that they are continuing to grow and, as a result, they are now looking for an Account Director to join their team.

So, if you're an experienced Account Director who has specialised in LAN/WAN solutions and you are looking for your next challenge, then this may well be the perfect opportunity for you.

The Role

  • Manage a portfolio of key accounts focusing on retention, growth, and long-term success.
  • Identify opportunities and shape custom-built offerings across LAN, WAN, WiFi, and Network Security.
  • Drive customer strategy, engagement, and delivery, all with measurable commercial outcomes.
  • Meet customers face-to-face - we believe in building partnerships, not just pipelines.
  • Lead account development, grow your pipeline, achieve KPI's, and update our CRM to deliver accurate, insightful forecasting.
  • Build strong relationships at every level, from day-to-day operational leads to senior executives in the boardroom.
  • Partner with service teams to ensure execution is seamless and customer satisfaction stays high.

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.
