About the Role
Tristram Parker Recruitment is recruiting a Key Account Manager for an established building-products business, managing and developing key customer relationships across North West England.
This opportunity would suit a commercially focused account manager or technical sales professional who understands the construction supply chain and enjoys building long-term customer partnerships.
The Opportunity
You will take ownership of an established customer portfolio, developing a clear understanding of each account’s business, project pipeline and commercial priorities. Your focus will be on retaining customers, growing account value and ensuring they receive responsive support throughout the project lifecycle.
Working closely with internal technical and commercial teams, you will identify opportunities within existing accounts and help convert customer projects into profitable sales.
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.

About You
