🚀 BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT EXECUTIVE – APPRENTICESHIPS

📍 Leeds | Office-based

💷 £26,000 + £10k+ OTE

Are you ambitious, resilient and hungry to build a career in sales? We’re looking for a Business Development Executive to join a growing team, generating new business and helping employers access high-quality apprenticeship programmes.

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.
