Senior National Account Manager - Grocery - Drinks SME
Two days per week in London
Up to £75,000 + 20% Bonus + Car Allowance
I'm working with a growing drinks business that's looking to hire a Senior National Account Manager to join their commercial team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in an SME where you'll have real ownership, plenty of autonomy and the chance to be part of an exciting growth story.
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.
