Account Executive
Account Executive – Manchester
Are you looking to start or accelerate your career in sales within a supportive, fast-paced environment where effort is genuinely rewarded?
Already have some sales experience but felt the business lacked structure or clear progression? Look no further.
We’re looking for resilient, personable, and ambitious individuals to join our growing team.
As an Account Executive, you’ll play a key role in helping businesses find the right technology solutions while building long-term client relationships. This is a fantastic opportunity for a graduate or early-career professional looking to develop commercial skills, gain real responsibility early on, and build a rewarding career in IT sales.
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.
