Strategic Accounts | Leadership | Commercial Services
This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Key Account Manager ready to step into a broader commercial leadership role. Our client is a market-leading commercial service organisation with an outstanding reputation for delivering specialist maintenance and technical services to some of the UK's largest organisations. Due to continued growth, they're looking to appoint a Sales Manager who can lead from the front—continuing to manage key strategic accounts while mentoring a small, high-performing Account Management and Renewals team.
This role combines hands-on strategic account management with people leadership, making it ideal for someone who still enjoys managing major customers while helping others maximise their performance.
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.
