The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Key Account Manager to lead relationships with some of Used Cars NI’s most strategic customers, including major dealer groups, franchise networks, large independent dealerships.

This role focuses on developing long-term strategic partnerships, working closely with Senior decision makers and helping dealers maximise the value of the Used Cars NI platform as part of their wider advertising, lead-generation and vehicle sales strategies.

What You’ll Do

Account Management

  • Own relationships with Used Cars NI's largest accounts, dealer groups, franchise networks and high-volume independents.
  • Build partnerships with dealer principals, group directors and marketing decision makers, via regular in-person visits, across Northern Ireland.
  • Retain and grow a portfolio of key accounts, protecting existing revenue through proactive account management and renewal planning.

Driving Value & Consultative Selling

  • Act as a trusted advisor, translating each dealer's goals into tailored advertising and commercial solutions.
  • Grow revenue through increased product adoption, strategic campaigns and commercially focused conversations grounded in the customer's own performance data, covering stock, listings, customer engagement and lead activity.
  • Help dealers improve vehicle visibility, lead generation and sales performance on the platform.

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.
