Strategic Account Manager
Up to £90,000 base + superb uncapped commission (£130k OTE)
Leatherhead : 2 days per week + UK & European travel when needed
The opportunity
This is an opportunity to join a well-funded, award-winning CleanTech scale-up with the potential to seriously disrupt a huge global market.
The business is backed by leading investors including BGF, Shell Ventures, Barclays and Clean Growth Fund, having secured £17.3m in Series B funding to accelerate production, technology development and expansion across the UK and Europe.
They've developed the world's first purpose-built battery and solar-powered transport refrigeration unit, replacing the diesel engines traditionally used to keep chilled and frozen goods cold.
The result
- Zero direct emissions
- Up to 81% lower operating costs
- Significant reductions in total cost of ownership
- No compromise on performance
And this isn't technology waiting to be proven.
Tesco, M&S, Ocado, DFDS, Müller and Samworth Brothers are already using, trialling or deploying the technology.
The next stage of growth is about turning successful adoption into significant fleet-wide expansion — and that's where you come in.
The role
As Strategic Account Manager, you'll own a portfolio of high-potential enterprise customers with one clear objective:
Turn successful deployments into long-term strategic partnerships and significant expansion revenue.
This is a highly commercial and client-facing role.
You'll regularly meet customers, attend deployments and rollouts and travel across the UK and Europe to build strong relationships within your accounts.
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'll work across complex organisations, developing relationships from Fleet Managers and operational teams through to Procurement, Sustainability, Finance and the C-suite.
A major part of your role will be using real-world performance data to demonstrate the operational, financial and environmental impact of the technology, building the commercial case for customers to move from an initial deployment to potentially hundreds of units.
What you'll be doing
You'll take full commercial ownership of your accounts, including:
- Building detailed account plans and stakeholder maps
- Identifying expansion opportunities across fleets, divisions, regions and countries
- Developing multi-threaded relationships across complex enterprise organisations
- Increasing your reach and influence beyond operational contacts and into the C-suite
- Attending customer meetings, deployments and key rollouts
- Using performance data and insights to demonstrate cost savings, operational performance and ROI
- Building compelling commercial cases for wider fleet adoption
- Identifying and engaging the key decision-makers required to drive expansion
- Managing complex projects involving multiple internal and external stakeholders
- Creating clear strategies and forecasts for future account growth
- Driving significant upsell and expansion revenue
You'll work closely with the AE responsible for initially winning the customer and the Aftercare team supporting them following deployment, ensuring a seamless transition from sale → rollout → adoption → expansion.
You'll also collaborate closely with Operations, Product, Engineering and senior leadership to ensure customers receive an exceptional experience.
