Our client supports a diverse and growing customer base, from agile MSPs to larger, more complex service providers operating at scale. Operating within a space that is rapidly evolving and still far from fully optimised, they are capitalising on a significant global opportunity - enabling organisations to strengthen their security posture as they increasingly adopt cloud-first and Microsoft-centric ecosystems. After recent Series C investment, they are now in hyper-growth with global expansion a priority.
What you’ll be doing:

- Lead, coach and support Business Development Representatives to improve quality, confidence and results
- Set clear activity, conversion and pipeline targets aligned to EMEA sales priorities
- Run consistent outbound processes, cadences, tooling and performance routines across the team
- Review prospecting quality, qualification standards and handoff to Sales to keep pipeline relevant and actionable
- Use data to identify gaps across activity, conversion, messaging and targeting, then take practical action
- Collaborate closely with EMEA Sales leadership on territory focus, account priorities and feedback from the field
- Partner with Marketing to align messaging, ICP insight, campaigns and lead follow-up
- Support onboarding, development and performance management for Business Development Representatives
- Stay close to market and competitor insight to improve outreach, positioning and pipeline effectiveness
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.
