AREA SALES MANAGER

The Role:

This is an opportunity for a driven field sales professional to manage and grow an established customer base of around 200 independent painting & decorating merchants across East Anglia, Greater London, Hertfordshire and Kent.

You'll develop existing accounts, open new business and work closely with customers to introduce new stock lines, improve margins and support pricing and promotions. The role will also involve customer trade days, product demonstrations and occasional overnight stays.

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.
