The Role & Impact

As an Account Executive, you will be responsible for growing and developing Xero's commercial relationship with accountants and bookkeepers within your dedicated territory. By working with partners to create and execute strategies that digitise their practices, you will drive positive outcomes for their businesses while contributing to the overall growth of our small business customer base.

Your work makes a tangible impact by helping small businesses become more efficient and connecting them with powerful technology. By empowering the community behind these businesses, you play a vital role in building a stronger economy.

The Team & How They Connect

You will join a collaborative sales team focused on the recruit, educate, and grow model to support our accounting partners. The team works closely with technical specialists to present end-to-end workflow solutions and partners with the wider business to facilitate peer-to-peer networking events.

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.
