Head of Sales

Location: Remote / SE or SW England preference but open

Full-time | Permanent

Successful commercial marketing company, with a strong track record of growing multiple food and drink brands over the last 12 years; now seeking to add strong sales experience to Brand and Category expertise and provide a complete sales and marketing offer. The team also includes strong social media activation and is aiming to be at the forefront of a new breed of hybrid agencies as the retail landscape changes.

The Opportunity

You will come in to head up the sales function. You will work closely with the MD and Account Director and will be driving a force across sales and marketing as they link together for their 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.
