Business Development Representative (BDR)
Horsforth, Leeds | £28,000 - £30,000 Basic + Uncapped Commission
Looking for more than just another sales job?
We're partnering with a fast-growing, private equity-backed B2B business that's experiencing significant growth and investing heavily in its commercial function. With an established client base, a strong market reputation, and revenues exceeding £3.5 million, they're building for the future and looking for ambitious people to join them on the journey.
This is an opportunity for a driven Business Development Representative to make a real impact, joining a business that values creativity, initiative, and a modern approach to prospecting.
The Role
As a BDR, you'll be responsible for generating new business opportunities and building a healthy pipeline for the sales team.
This isn't about sending generic outreach messages all day. The business encourages a creative approach to prospecting, using personalised LinkedIn videos, voice notes, tailored messaging, and smart outreach strategies to engage senior decision-makers and create meaningful conversations.
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.
