UK Field Based

Lead Growth. Shape Strategy. Dominate the Market.

Are you a commercially driven Sales Director with a passion for building winning teams and growing dealer networks?

Kress is a market-leading international manufacturer that's investing heavily in innovation, battery technology and the future of Outdoor Power Equipment. Following continued growth, they're looking for an exceptional commercial leader to take full ownership of the UK & Ireland business.

This is far more than a sales leadership role.

You'll have full commercial responsibility for the UK operation, leading a high-performing national sales team while owning strategy, forecasting, profitability, dealer development and long-term 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.
