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.
You will manage key customer relationships, lead commercial discussions, and develop well-considered ranges across gift books and children’s books. The role requires a balance of commercial instinct, range sense, stick-to-it-ness, and disciplined follow-through.
Experience supplying department store groups, garden centre groups, visitor attraction retailers, challenging national accounts, and online retailers will be particularly relevant.
Key Responsibilities
- Managing and developing national key accounts as part of a wider account team
- Leading negotiations on ranges, pricing, and promotions
- Identifying and delivering growth opportunities
- Preparing and presenting clear, data-led proposals
- Working closely with internal colleagues to ensure consistent excellence in execution & service.
You Will Be
- An experienced Key Account Manager
- Commercially astute, organised, and credible with buyers
- Comfortable working in a team-based account structure
- Confident using Excel and PowerPoint
- Reliable, detail-focused, and comfortable working at pace
These positions are office-based in Kings Langley and offer a competitive salary, bonuses, and the opportunity to play a central role in a well-established and growing distributor.
