RMK Talent Solutions is currently recruiting for a Business Development Consultant to join our investment manager's sales team covering the South of England (base Birmingham & south is ideal). This role offers an exciting opportunity for professionals with a background in IFA sales, particularly those with experience in outsourced investment solutions. The successful candidate will play a vital part in expanding the company’s reach by developing new business and fostering strong relationships with intermediaries.
We are seeking a proactive, results-oriented individual who is eager to transition from a telephone sales environment into a field-based role or someone already experienced as a hybrid Business Development Manager (BDM). This client values expertise, initiative, and a professional approach to building lasting partnerships in the investment and financial advisory space.
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.
