Are you an experienced Account Manager or Sales professional with a background in manufacturing, engineering or heavy industry?
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established industrial manufacturer looking to add an Account Manager to its commercial team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys building long-term customer relationships while working closely with production, transport and operational teams to ensure an exceptional customer experience.
The Role
You'll be responsible for managing an established portfolio of key customer accounts, acting as the main point of contact and ensuring projects and orders run smoothly from quotation through to delivery.
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.
