The opportunity

- Full P&L responsibility, including trade spend, across your accounts
- Leading strategic account planning — joint business plans, annual budgets, and identifying new growth opportunities

- Working cross-functionally to plan and forecast in line with budget
- Staying close to market insight, trends and competitor activity to inform your strategy
- Representing the business at industry events and trade shows
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- Off-trade NAM experience already in place — ideally within National Wholesale or Cash & Carry.
- Bestway experience is a strong advantage (not a dealbreaker if you don't have it, but any exposure to Bestway or similar complex wholesale accounts will help you hit the ground running)
- A genuinely commercial mindset — you can build a story from data that engages people
- An entrepreneurial, self-starting approach. This role will best suit someone who has had some experience from an SME in their career.
- Tenacity, drive, and the eagerness to go after growth
- Experience across branded and own-label FMCG is a bonus

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This business has built real momentum in strategic partnerships, and its wholesale accounts are in growth. This is a unique opportunity to be part of its growth story. If you're commercially sharp, thrive on autonomy, and are ready to build something rather than maintain it — we want to hear from you.
This is a genuine chance to fast-track your career and make a mark within a business that is agile and rewards an entrepreneurial mindset.
