Business Development & Ecommerce Executive
£26,000 per year | Coventry area | Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm
Bored of the idea of doing the same thing every day?
If you're the kind of person who likes variety, enjoys learning new things, and wants to get involved in a bit of everything, this could be the role for you.
We're looking for a switched-on, proactive, and adaptable person to join a growing ecommerce business in a role where you'll get exposure to pretty much every part of the operation.
Think of yourself as a jack of all trades — one minute you're speaking to a customer, the next you're working on a sales opportunity, updating a website, creating social media content, or helping organize a delivery.
No two days will be the same.
So, what will you be doing?
You'll get involved in loads of different areas of the business, including:
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Sales – dealing with incoming enquiries and helping turn them into sales.
- Business Development – finding new customers and opportunities and helping grow the business.
- Ecommerce – learning how the company's websites work and managing the processes behind customer orders.
- Marketing – getting involved with PPC, SEO, and digital marketing.
- Social Media & Content – coming up with ideas and creating content to promote the business.
- Customer Service – answering calls, replying to emails, and looking after existing and new customers.
- Operations – helping organize deliveries, liaising with customers, and working with the warehouse team.

- Customer Visits – occasionally heading out to installations, meeting customers, and seeing the products and services in action.
- Business Admin – gaining an insight into areas such as accounting and the day-to-day running of the business.
You won't be stuck doing one thing all day. You'll be encouraged to get involved, learn, and have a go.
Who are we looking for?
We're not looking for someone who already knows how to do everything.

- Picks things up quickly and enjoys learning new things.
- Has a commercial mindset and likes the idea of helping a business grow.
- Is confident speaking to people on the phone and face-to-face.
