Strategic Account Manager - Retail & Technology

Hybrid - London base, with UK travel as needed

We’re partnering with a global technology services organisation looking for a Strategic Account Manager to take ownership of some of their most valuable enterprise clients. This is a senior role, ideal for someone who enjoys being at the heart of client strategy - driving growth, nurturing long-term partnerships, and aligning technology with business outcomes.

You’ll be managing a portfolio currently worth around £3–4 million, with scope to grow it to £10 million+, working closely with senior stakeholders across complex, multi-layered organisations.

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading strategic relationships with key enterprise clients, acting as their trusted advisor.
  • Developing account strategies that align technology solutions with clients’ wider business goals.
  • Identifying opportunities for growth within existing accounts and leading the full sales cycle.
  • Collaborating with delivery and technical teams to ensure service excellence and client success.
  • Creating and executing account plans, managing performance metrics, and ensuring profitable delivery.

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.
