I’m working with a leading branded FMCG business on two urgent National Account Manager day rate contract roles. These are short-term contracts for experienced FMCG account managers who can come in, pick things up quickly, and keep momentum moving across key customers.
There are two roles available:
National Account Manager – Grocery

National Account Manager – Booker
Working across two leading health snacking brands, managing the Booker relationship and supporting delivery across convenience/wholesale.
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.
