ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions
Shape the Future of Precision Manufacturing
Are you an experienced sales professional with a background in metrology, manufacturing and capital equipment (CAPEX)?
Join ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions, a global leader in precision measurement technology, and play a key role in helping UK manufacturers achieve the highest standards of quality and innovation.
This is a high-impact, consultative sales role where you’ll work with cutting-edge CMM technology, build long-term customer partnerships, and drive growth across a defined territory.

As a CMM Account Manager, you will be responsible for delivering sales performance across your territory, developing new business opportunities, and managing key customer relationships.
You’ll take ownership of the full sales lifecycle, from lead generation through to closing complex, high-value deals.
Key Responsibilities
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.
