(100% New Business)
Up to £70,000 + uncapped commission + company car (OTE £130,000+)
Remote - Midlands preferred, but not essential
Can you open doors, create demand and turn complex opportunities into serious revenue?
This is a role for an ambitious new business salesperson who enjoys getting out in front of customers, understanding how their businesses operate and winning contracts that make a difference.
Our client is a growing technology business operating in a specialist manufacturing niche with relatively few providers. Opportunities to join businesses like this are rare, particularly with the chance to pursue contracts worth millions of pounds.
You will need the drive to create opportunities, the commercial judgement to qualify them properly and the determination to keep complex deals moving through to close.
The opportunity
This is a home-based role with a significant field presence. You will spend at least three days a week visiting prospects and customers across the UK, getting onto factory floors, meeting decision makers and understanding the operational challenges behind each opportunity.
You will have a dedicated Business Development Representative supporting your pipeline, alongside responsibility for generating your own opportunities. Success will come from your ability to open doors, build credibility and convert interest into revenue.
What you will be doing
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.

- Working closely with your dedicated Business Development Representative to identify target accounts and secure meaningful conversations.
- Creating your own opportunities through proactive prospecting, networking and relationship building.
- Visiting manufacturing sites to understand processes, uncover challenges and establish where the technology can deliver commercial value.
- Building relationships with Factory Managers, Operations Directors, Technical Directors, Engineering and Continuous Improvement teams.
- Managing the full sales cycle, from discovery and qualification through to presenting, negotiation and close.
- Navigating multiple decision makers and complex buying processes, typically lasting three to six months, with longer cycles for enterprise opportunities.
- Developing opportunities with contract values reaching into the millions.
- Building a credible pipeline with clear next steps and a strong focus on conversion.
Who we want to speak to
You are a proven revenue generator with a strong track record of selling into manufacturing. You can explain how you sourced your opportunities, developed the relationships and won the business.
You enjoy the pursuit of a new account and understand that larger deals take preparation, persistence and consistent follow-through. You are comfortable asking difficult questions, challenging assumptions and keeping momentum when several stakeholders are involved.
