Internal Sales Team Leader Building Materials
You're already training the new starters, running your own book and covering the branch managers desk when he's not there. None of that comes with a title yet.
This one gives you the title, the authority and the money for exactly what you're already doing.
THE CLIENT
If you're an experienced internal sales professional in a builders or trade merchant environment right now, you already know the pattern: you carry the branch, you train the people under you, and somehow the promotion that should be yours keeps going to someone else. This is a genuine way out of that cycle. A well-established, multi-branch trade merchant business, backed by a substantial national group with a genuinely entrepreneurial way of running its branches, is looking for someone exactly at your stage to stop waiting and just take the step up.
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.
THE ROLE
This is a proper player-manager role, not a watered-down assistant title. You'll keep running your own accounts across the East of Scotland, dealing directly with contractors and housebuilders, while also leading and mentoring a small, early-career internal sales team and deputising for the branch manager whenever he's out. Real authority, from day one, not a title with none of the weight behind it.
THE CANDIDATE
You've come up through a builders, timber, plumbing or similar trade merchant background, sales-led rather than pure operations, and you've already got the product knowledge and the customer relationships most people spend years building. What you don't have yet is the job title and the leadership responsibility that actually matches what you're doing every day. If that's you, this was built with you in mind.

THE REWARDS
£45,000 basic, with realistic OTE potential of up to £10,000. Full-time, permanent, based on the East of Scotland patch. If you're an internal sales executive, trade counter supervisor, sales team leader or assistant branch manager ready to make the step up, get in touch.
“It took my CV and asked me questions relevant to understanding what kind of jobs to suggest for me. Suggestions were almost perfect. Jobs were exactly what I’ve been looking for.”
