Do you know what it takes to win with the biggest names on the high street, or in premium & luxury retail?

I'm hiring 2 x National Account Managers for a global leader in beauty.

Confidential search. Iconic portfolio. Two roles, two different customer bases, same calibre of opportunity.

The Role

You'll be responsible for delivering commercial growth across a major UK retail account (Boots).

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing and executing Joint Business Plans to deliver sales, profit and market share growth
  • Leading customer negotiations across promotions, investment and commercial agreements
  • Managing account P&L, forecasting and budget performance
  • Identifying opportunities to maximise ROI and improve commercial performance
  • Working closely with internal stakeholders across Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain and Digital
  • Driving flawless execution of promotional and activation plans
  • Building senior-level customer relationships and becoming a trusted commercial partner

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.
