National Account Manager

Can be located anywhere in the UK and must have a UK Manual Driving License (happy to travel nationally on a day to day basis.)

Do you know how to turn major accounts into major growth? Are you commercially sharp enough to balance relationships, revenue, and negotiation at a national level? Then this might be the role for you!

What will you be doing?

As our National Account Manager, you’ll take ownership of a portfolio of national trade accounts, driving profitable growth, increasing market share, and strengthening strategic partnerships. This is a role for someone who can think strategically, negotiate confidently, and deliver commercially.

In this role, you will:

  • Develop and deliver strategic joint business plans to grow revenue, margin, distribution, and share of wallet across national trade accounts
  • Build strong senior-level relationships with decision makers, procurement teams, and commercial stakeholders to create long-term partnerships
  • Lead commercial negotiations including pricing, terms, rebates, and service agreements to maximise profitability
  • Drive new initiatives, product launches, and market opportunities while ensuring customers are supported through legislative and market change

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.
