Sales Manager

Doncaster – Hybrid
Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm
Looking for your next step in sales management, but don’t want to move away from customers, relationships and winning business?
This is a great opportunity to join a successful and growing international manufacturing business where you’ll manage a team of three while remaining hands-on with key distributor accounts and new business development.
You’ll have the opportunity to lead from the front, develop your team and play a key role in growing the sales function, without becoming a purely strategic or office-based manager.
The culture is a big part of what makes this opportunity stand out. You’ll be joining a genuinely friendly, supportive and collaborative team where people help each other, care about their customers and take pride in what they do.
They’re looking for someone who brings energy, enthusiasm and a positive approach to leadership — someone who enjoys developing people but still gets a buzz from speaking to customers, growing accounts and winning business.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your sales career while keeping the commercial side of the role, this could be the perfect opportunity.
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.
