Business Development Director – SD-WAN, Secure Networking & SASE
Location: UK Hybrid | London 1–2 times per month
Salary: £75,000-£85,000 Basic + Double OTE uncapped!!
We're partnering with one of the UK's fastest-growing technology solutions providers to recruit a Business Development Director into a strategic Secure Networking & SASE division. This is a genuine new business role, but not one where you're expected to build everything from scratch.
The business has invested heavily in its vendor partnerships, particularly with Fortinet, who actively support the sales team with introductions into targeted end-user organisations. Alongside this, you'll benefit from dedicated marketing, pre-sales, solution architects, and targeted outbound campaigns, allowing you to focus on converting high-value opportunities rather than endless cold prospecting.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
