Account Executive (Entry Level)
Birmingham City Centre (On-Site) | Full-Time | Monday to Friday
£25,000 Base Salary + Performance Incentives (typical weekly bonus £200 to £400)
This is a starting role with genuine responsibility from the outset and a mapped-out path beyond it, built for people at the beginning of their working life who want proper training and a reason to stick around, not a placeholder position they'll be looking to leave within six months.
At Sage, we're growing our Birmingham team and taking on Entry-Level Account Executives to work directly with our clients and support live campaign delivery. You'll work with recognised names including Eon, Mercedes and EE/BT, and you'll be coached and mentored from your first week rather than left to sink or swim. No prior experience needed. We care far more about how you carry yourself, how you talk to people, and how much you want to make something of this.
Why Sage Is Different
We build our people up internally. Rather than hiring senior staff from outside, we back the people already in the room, putting real money and time into hands-on coaching so the business grows because our team grows. When we say we develop people, we mean the person sitting next to you was very likely in your seat not long ago.
A Business Going Places
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Sage is expanding fast. Over the coming period we're opening in two more UK cities, Leeds and London, with US expansion planned for 2027. That kind of growth creates room, and we fill that room from within. Get your results up and there are clear routes into account management, team leadership and management positions as new teams and offices come online.
The Role
As an Account Executive, you'll be trained across the commercial and client-facing side of the business, including:
- Representing well-known UK brands in a professional, face-to-face setting
- Supporting active client campaigns and daily account work
- Building solid customer relationships and keeping service standards high
- Working alongside your team to hit performance targets
- Learning how accounts are won, grown and kept
As you find your feet and your confidence builds, your responsibilities will grow to match.
Training & Development
You'll be guided through a structured pathway that covers:
- Full onboarding and role-specific training
- One-to-one coaching with regular, honest feedback
- Continued development in communication, client handling and professional conduct
- Grounding in account management and business development basics
- Progression is earned on results, with clear benchmarks so you always know where you stand.
