My client is seeking an ambitious Business Development Executive to join their growing sales team on a permanent basis. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded sales professional who enjoys generating new business, managing customer relationships and taking ownership of the full sales cycle.

  • Generate leads through proactive outbound business development activity
  • Attend customer meetings to understand requirements and present appropriate solutions
  • Prepare quotations, negotiate terms and convert opportunities into sales
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with both prospective and existing customers
  • Manage and grow a healthy pipeline of sales opportunities
  • Maintain accurate records of customer interactions and opportunities within the CRM system
  • Collaborate with telesales and wider sales colleagues to maximise business opportunities
  • Work towards agreed sales targets and performance objectives

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.
