Sales Distribution Manager
Our companies are seeking an experienced Sales Distribution Manager with a proven ability to build and develop strong relationships with key distributors worldwide. The successful candidate will be confident delivering product training to international partners and will also possess a strong background in digital marketing.
About Us
We are a family-owned global company that produces ultra-critical valves for the world’s oil, gas, and hydrogen industries, where exceptional quality and on-time delivery are critical.
With operations spanning the UK, Dubai, Malaysia, and India, and a world-class R&D center in Knutsford, we have ambitious plans to grow beyond our £100m turnover.
Our business model is to sub-contract our components, then assemble at our facilities in Knutsford and Chennai. Our culture is agile, entrepreneurial, and decisive. There are no layers of bureaucracy, endless committees, or slow-moving approval processes. We value common sense, accountability, and action.
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.
