About the Role
This role sits at the centre of how leading brands use insight to drive growth with Tesco. You will operate as a trusted advisor to clients, working closely with them to understand complex commercial challenges, shape insight-led category management strategies, and deliver measurable impact across their Tesco performance.
While not a traditional sales role, the position carries clear commercial accountability. You will be responsible for owning senior client relationships, identifying and progressing value opportunities, and translating insight into commercially meaningful outcomes. You’ll work across a varied client portfolio, with scope and complexity aligned to experience and evolving business need. This role offers significant ownership, influence, and progression.
What you’ll do
- Own commercial performance across a portfolio of Tesco-facing clients, with clear accountability for revenue, growth, and long-term value
- Build trusted, senior-level client partnerships grounded in commercial understanding, insight, and data
- Diagnose complex business challenges and translate insight into clear, value-led recommendations
- Identify, shape, and progress opportunities across renewals, expansion, and new solutions
- Lead structured, insight-led client conversations that influence decision-making and drive meaningful action
- Maintain accurate forecasting and a disciplined, prioritised opportunity pipeline
- Partner closely with Client Success to ensure high-quality delivery and sustained commercial impact
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.
