Our client, a growing and highly successful business within the industrial/manufacturing sector, is looking to appoint an ambitious Strategic Account Manager to join their commercial team on a full-time, permanent basis.
This is a high-impact role focused on managing and growing an established portfolio of UK and Ireland customers. You will be responsible for protecting existing revenue, building strong long-term relationships, and identifying new opportunities to increase profitable growth.
This is not a passive account management role – it requires a proactive, commercially minded individual who enjoys building relationships, spotting opportunities, and driving results.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage a portfolio of established customer accounts across the UK & Ireland.
- Build strong relationships with multiple stakeholders within customer organisations.
- Conduct regular account reviews and proactive customer contact.
- Identify opportunities for upselling, cross-selling, and new applications.
- Protect existing revenue by identifying risks and preventing churn.
- Create and manage customer growth plans and commercial proposals.
- Maintain accurate CRM records, forecasts, and pipeline activity.
- Work closely with internal sales, customer service, and operational teams.
- Support onboarding of new customers and ensure smooth handovers.
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.
