Account Executive / Sales Executive, Hospitality & Events

If you enjoy turning enquiries into confirmed orders and building relationships with bars, restaurants, hotels and event venues, this one is worth a look.
I'm recruiting on behalf of an established supplier of specialist products and bespoke solutions to the hospitality and events industry. You'll take customers from first enquiry through to confirmed order, and grow accounts through repeat business and smart upselling.
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.
