About the Role

Build trusted partnerships. Drive growth. Make every client interaction count.

You thrive on building strong relationships, understanding what matters most to your clients, and finding solutions that create real value. You enjoy being the person clients turn to for advice, support, and guidance, and you take pride in delivering an outstanding customer experience that keeps customers engaged for the long term.

At Ground Control, we're looking for an Account Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of key grounds maintenance clients. This is an opportunity to become a trusted partner to customers, influence retention and growth, and play a key role in shaping the client experience. You'll have the autonomy to manage your accounts, the support of experienced colleagues across Sales and Operations, and the opportunity to make a visible impact on both customer satisfaction and commercial performance.

What You'll Do:

  • In this role, you'll build long-term client relationships, drive account growth, and ensure customers receive a consistently high level of service.
  • Act as the primary contact for your portfolio of clients, building trusted relationships that strengthen retention and long-term partnership opportunities.
  • Lead regular client meetings, site visits, and account reviews, providing valuable insights and ensuring customers feel supported, informed, and engaged.
  • Work closely with operational teams to deliver a seamless customer experience, helping resolve challenges quickly and maintaining confidence in our service delivery.
  • Identify opportunities to expand services across existing accounts, generating qualified leads that contribute to portfolio growth and wider business success.
  • Manage client escalations with professionalism and urgency, finding practical solutions that protect relationships and improve customer satisfaction.
  • Support the mobilisation of new contracts and client transitions, helping ensure projects are delivered smoothly and customers experience a positive start to their journey with Ground Control.
  • Develop account plans, maintain stakeholder maps, and keep CRM records up to date, providing visibility and structure across your portfolio.
  • Review trends, performance data, and customer feedback to identify opportunities for continuous improvement, increased value, and stronger client outcomes.

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.
