We are seeking a dynamic Head of Account Management

You will lead our account management function, taking responsibility for a portfolio of £50m+ revenue across 5,000 independent dealers. Leading 4 Manager-level direct reports and a wider team of 30+ Account Managers, you will drive a step-change in performance, dealer engagement, and commercial impact as we evolve into a high-growth, challenger automotive marketplace.

This role is critical in shifting our approach from reactive account management to proactive, insight-led dealer partnerships. You will lead the team through a major phase of transformation, including an updated version of our CRM platform, a billing partner transition, and a cultural reset focused on pace, accountability, and agility.

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.
