- Leading joint business planning (JBP) to align strategies and deliver commercial targets
- Driving sales growth, margin improvement, and distribution expansion across assigned accounts

- Collaborating cross-functionally (product, supply chain, marketing teams) to deliver results
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.

- Greater visibility and collaboration with senior leadership

- Experience working closely with product, supply chain, and growth teams

A strong National Account Manager with:
- Proven experience in FMCG / food National Account Management
- ** tracks record in managing grocery retail accounts**
- Experience delivering Joint Business Plans (JBP) and meaningful account growth
