Corporate Account Manager – IT Reseller / VAR
London | Up to £80,000 DOE + Car Allowance + Uncapped Commission
Currently working for an IT reseller or VAR and looking for greater autonomy, genuine earning potential and the opportunity to build something of your own?
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established IT reseller investing heavily in the growth of its new London sales team.
This is a genuine new business role for someone who knows the reseller world. You'll be building your own customer portfolio, winning new logos and developing those customers into long-term, high-value accounts.
You'll have a broad multi-vendor portfolio to sell across IT infrastructure, hardware, software, cloud and services, backed by an experienced technical pre-sales team.
Unlike many reseller environments, you won't be restricted to a particular vertical or patch. You'll have the freedom to target the sectors and customers where you see the greatest opportunity and build your own market.
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.
