Business Development Executive
Founding Manchester Team | £30,000–£35,000 + £50,000+ OTE
Spinningfields, Manchester | Hybrid
What if your next sales role gave you the chance to build something from the ground up, rather than inherit someone else's patch?
A rapidly growing technology business in the residential property sector is opening its first Manchester office and is looking for two ambitious salespeople to become founding members of the team.
Why is this different?
- You're not selling another generic SaaS product.
- The platform is helping estate and letting agencies modernise outdated processes, save time and create additional revenue, with AI-powered referencing, rent protection, insurance and other services all brought together in one proposition.
- The business already has 500+ clients, established integrations with major property CRMs and a proposition that is continually evolving.
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.

Full training and genuine progression as Manchester grows
This is one of only two founding sales positions.
You'll be joining at the point where the Manchester operation is being built, with the opportunity to help shape the office, build your own network and grow alongside it.
If you're already selling into estate agents and want your next move to have more ownership, more opportunity and more upside, this could be worth a conversation.
