About the Role

Smart Solutions Group is looking for experienced independent Business Development Consultants. Potential commission starts from £40,000 per successfully concluded and paid client contract.

Responsibilities

  • Consultants with established professional relationships with shareholders and C-level executives.
  • Help leaders of an international procure-tech business develop new enterprise opportunities and receive a contractually agreed commission for successfully concluded and paid client contracts.
  • We are currently expanding our business development network across the United Kingdom and welcome experienced business connectors and executive relationship builders.

Job Details

Please note: this is not a full-time salaried position. It is a remote, independent contractor opportunity with commission-only compensation. There is no fixed salary or employee benefits. All compensation terms are agreed in writing before any business introductions are made.

Your compensation depends on the value and scope of the project successfully concluded through your qualified introduction. For illustration:

  • A qualifying introduction resulting in a £400,000 contract for the SSG B2B procure-tech excellence program may generate a commission of approximately £40,000.
  • A qualifying introduction resulting in a £1,100,000 contract for the SSG B2G procure-tech partnership program may generate a commission of approximately £110,000.

These examples are provided for illustration only and do not represent guaranteed earnings. Commission is payable only when an eligible contract has been concluded, payment has been received from the client, and the conditions specified in the signed contractor agreement have been met.

About Us

We are a team developing and implementing procurement technology solutions based on the needs of enterprise and public-sector clients. Our projects typically focus on helping organisations improve procurement processes and implement tailored procure-tech solutions within three to six months.

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.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for experienced professionals capable of building trusted relationships and facilitating relevant business introductions. This opportunity may be suitable for you if:

  • You have established professional relationships with shareholders, CEOs, Board members, senior management, CFOs and CPOs in companies with annual revenue of $100 million or more.
  • You understand the priorities and challenges of large organisations and can communicate effectively with senior decision-makers.
  • You can identify relevant business opportunities and facilitate professional, consent-based introductions between Smart Solutions Group and qualified potential clients.
  • You are interested in applying your experience and professional network to enterprise transformation projects through an independent, commission-based engagement.
  • Candidates will not be asked to upload, transfer or disclose personal contact databases. Any introduction must be made lawfully, professionally and with appropriate consent.

Our Process

Qualification

After receiving your application and questionnaire, we will invite selected candidates to a short introductory call. During this conversation, we will discuss your experience, professional network, target industries and the potential fit between your background and our current business development priorities.

Mini-onboarding

Selected consultants receive access to relevant internal materials and videos explaining our solutions, methodology, client cases and approach to enterprise procurement transformation.

Initial Engagement Period

After onboarding and signing the required NDA and independent contractor agreement, both parties may begin with a limited initial engagement. The objective is to identify one relevant potential client and, where appropriate, facilitate a qualified introductory meeting. Any eligible introduction made during this period will be covered by the agreed commission terms. No candidate will be asked to provide a commercial introduction as an unpaid recruitment assignment. Our team will support you in preparing for and conducting the introductory meeting.

  • Client discovery and qualification
  • Product presentations and demonstrations

  • Contract negotiations and closing
  • Project delivery

The NDA, independent contractor agreement, commission conditions and eligible client criteria are agreed in writing before the engagement begins.

Your Reward

You receive a pre-agreed commission for each eligible client contract successfully concluded through your qualified introduction. Commission is normally paid within three business days after Smart Solutions Group receives the corresponding payment from the client, subject to the conditions of the signed contractor agreement. The commission percentage, eligible revenue basis, payment milestones and conditions are transparently documented in the agreement.

Application Process

Submit your application and complete a short questionnaire. We would like to understand:

  • Your experience working with C-level executives
  • The industries and markets in which you have established relationships
  • Your experience facilitating enterprise-level business introductions
  • Your understanding of long-cycle B2B or B2G sales
  • Your motivation for considering an independent, commission-based engagement
