About BCN:

At BCN we unite people and technology to enable organisations to fly. We believe people and organisations can achieve anything using technology to its full potential.

Which is why we put people front and centre – building client relationships for life and fostering a culture where our people thrive.

We are delighted you are on this journey with us!

Focus of the role:

We are seeking an experienced “SME/C Account Director” to oversee the commercial management of a portfolio of named customer accounts. You will serve as the strategic link between BCN and your clients, driving value, identifying new opportunities, and expanding revenue by understanding their business needs and the Microsoft technology landscape. The role is based in our Reading office, covering territory across London, Oxfordshire, Southampton, Swindon, and Bristol. You’ll manage and grow a portfolio of existing clients, build consultative relationships with senior C-level stakeholders, drive profitable growth through solution-led selling, and work closely with technical and delivery teams to align solutions with client needs. You’ll inherit a robust client base and are expected to deepen engagement, reduce churn, and uncover new opportunities across multiple solution areas.

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.
