Start Your Career in a Role Where Your Potential Matters
Are you graduating this year or looking for your first step into a commercial career?
Our client is looking for ambitious, curious, and relationship-focused individuals to join their growing team as Graduate Account Executives. This is a fantastic opportunity to build a successful career with a business that genuinely invests in its people through structured training, mentoring, and clear progression opportunities.
Whether you've studied Business, Marketing, Psychology, English, Communications, or a completely different subject, if you enjoy building relationships, solving problems, and learning new skills, we'd love to hear from you.
Why This Role?
Many graduates assume a career in sales is all about cold calling and hard selling. The reality is very different.
This role is about building relationships, understanding customer needs, and becoming a trusted advisor. You'll receive comprehensive training, ongoing support from experienced mentors, and the opportunity to develop skills that will benefit you throughout your career.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building relationships with prospective and existing clients.
- Managing and growing customer accounts.
- Identifying opportunities to support clients and add value.
- Learning consultative sales and commercial skills from experienced professionals.
- Working closely with marketing, sales, and customer success teams.
- Developing expertise in your market and becoming a trusted point of contact for customers.
- Using LinkedIn, email, phone, and virtual meetings to engage with clients.
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.
