About The Job And Company
We work with HGV fleets and commercial vehicle operators to deliver high-quality solutions from initial concept through to manufacture and fitment.
Due to continued expansion, we are looking for a confident, commercially focused Sales Account Manager to join our growing fleet sales team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced sales professional with knowledge of the HGV curtain sider, vehicle livery or commercial vehicle branding sector to take ownership of customer relationships, grow existing accounts and develop new business.
Role And Key Responsibilities
As a Sales Account Manager, you will manage a portfolio of customers, acting as the key point of contact for their HGV curtain, livery, branding and internal load restraint requirements.
You will build strong, long-term relationships while identifying opportunities to grow accounts and win new business. Working closely with our internal teams, you will oversee projects from initial enquiry through to completion, ensuring customers receive a professional, responsive and commercially focused service.
This role would suit someone who is confident dealing with customers, commercially driven and capable of managing multiple projects while keeping the focus on sales and relationship development.
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.
