About us

Meridianis Global is a wholesale and cash & carry warehouse based in Rochdale, supplying everyday essentials across groceries, beverages, household, personal care, DIY and more. Our customers include independent retailers, resellers, hospitality businesses and everyday buyers, served through our warehouse, online store and UK-wide delivery. As our trade customer base grows, we're looking for a Sales Account Manager to take ownership of it.

The role

You'll manage and grow our portfolio of trade accounts, build strong long-term relationships with business customers, and find new sales opportunities. You'll own the trade channel's sales targets and report directly to the Director.

What you'll do

  • Manage a portfolio of trade accounts as the main commercial contact, driving repeat orders and higher order values.
  • Win new trade customers such as convenience stores, independent retailers, resellers and cafés, and convert enquiries into approved trade accounts.
  • Negotiate volume pricing and commercial terms for larger orders within agreed margins.
  • Own and report on monthly and quarterly sales targets, forecasts and growth plans.
  • Keep customers satisfied by handling feedback, service issues and escalations.
  • Spot market trends and competitor activity, and recommend new lines, seasonal ranges and promotions.
  • Work with warehouse and logistics staff to make sure key customers get what they need, on time.
  • Keep accurate CRM records of accounts, pipeline, pricing and sales activity.

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.
