Business Development Associate (Cyber Security)

Leeds – £25,000 + OTE

Looking to launch your career in tech sales? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-growing cyber security company helping organisations stay protected from increasingly complex digital threats. Perfect for someone ambitious, curious, and eager to develop into a high-performing sales professional in a booming industry.

The Role

As a Business Development Associate, you’ll focus on generating new opportunities and building the early stages of the sales pipeline. You’ll be the first point of contact for potential clients, introducing the company’s solutions and creating interest with senior decision-makers.

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.
