Are you a driven, consultative salesperson who thrives on growing existing accounts and delivering against ambitious targets?

At Viking, you’ll take ownership of a portfolio of around 400 B2B customers, with a clear focus on increasing share of wallet, expanding product penetration, and driving measurable commercial growth.

With access to a range of over 40,000 products, you’ll be equipped to offer tailored solutions, uncover new opportunities, and build lasting customer relationships. This is a performance-led account management role where success is recognised, rewarded, and supported.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and grow a portfolio of approximately 400 B2B customer accounts through proactive outbound engagement, primarily via phone, as well as email and other channels
  • Build strong, long-term customer relationships to drive loyalty, increase spend, and deliver consistent sales growth
  • Take ownership of high-value accounts, identifying opportunities to expand product usage and maximise customer value
  • Use a creative and proactive approach to engage key decision-makers and uncover new commercial opportunities
  • Accurately record all customer interactions and maintain up-to-date, actionable account information within CRM systems
  • Prepare and follow up on quotations, working towards both individual and team sales targets
  • Re-engage dormant accounts and grow existing customers through effective cross-selling and upselling strategies

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.
