About the Company
Core Telecom is a fast-growing technology and communications network operating within the global telecoms industry. We help organisations improve customer engagement, automate processes, and drive revenue growth through smart use of data, messaging, and emerging technologies.
This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded individual who is keen to build a career in new business sales and be mentored as part of an experienced team.
The Role
As a SMS Account Manager, your primary focus will be hunting new business opportunities and supporting senior sales and leadership team members in winning and growing SMS accounts.
You will play an active role in outbound sales activity, prospecting, lead qualification, and early-stage customer conversations.
This role is ideal for someone ambitious, confident, and motivated by results, who wants clear progression into a full sales or account management role.
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.
