Graduate Sales Opportunity in Animal Health
Overview
Graduate sales opportunity working with a market leader in animal health. Client-facing role working with new and existing customers. Fantastic training and development available, entry-level role suitable for someone with no prior business-to-business sales experience.
Company
This client is a family-owned global business that specializes in companion animal nutraceuticals—non-drug substances administered to improve the health and well-being of animals. Their products support companion animals in categories such as Joints, Gastrointestinal, Internal organs, skin/coat, and brain/behaviour. Over 90% of their products are produced in-house in their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, with a presence in over 40 countries worldwide.
Role Description
As an Area Sales Manager, you will be responsible for covering a geographical territory across Exeter, with ideal candidates placed in or nearby the city. The first 42 weeks of development are already laid out for you, including market-leading training. Some training will be done on-patch with the existing sales team, some virtually, and some on-site at HQ in Lytham (expenses fully covered).
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A typical day will consist of 3-4 meetings, split between pursuing new business and selling to existing accounts. You will represent the business's full range of nutraceuticals, selling into independent veterinary practices. The company philosophy is to promote from within, and current members of staff that started in this graduate role include the UK National Sales Manager, Business Unit Manager for Western Europe, and Northern Regional Sales Manager.
