About Us
We’re an innovative tech company delivering cutting-edge technical solutions while also providing on-demand and permanent technical resourcing services to our clients. We are not a recruitment agency – we work as a strategic partner to help businesses achieve their technology goals.
As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a dynamic and results-driven Account Executive to join our team and drive revenue through both solution sales and our resourcing services.
This is a pure sales-focused role ideal for someone who thrives in a target-driven environment and loves creating new opportunities. You’ll be selling a mix of technical solutions and our specialist technical resourcing services (on-demand and permanent staffing) to clients across a range of industries.
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.
