Sales Account Executive

Location: South Manchester

Salary: £28,000 base + uncapped commission

Experience: Graduate / Early Career

Training: Full training and ongoing support provided


A client-facing sales role where ambition is rewarded and progression is fast. Our client is a growing business based in South Manchester and is looking to hire a confident, driven Sales Account Executive to join their commercial team. This opportunity is ideal for a recent graduate or early-career professional who wants real responsibility, meaningful client interaction, and strong earning potential early on.


This is a front-line sales role with ownership of conversations, targets, and relationships — not a back-office or observer position.

The Opportunity

The Sales Account Executive will be responsible for managing relationships with prospects and clients, guiding them through the full sales process and contributing directly to business growth.

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.
