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.
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.
The role
This is a pure new-business role. You'll identify and engage senior decision-makers at ambitious, high-growth brands, sparking the conversations that turn into meetings for our leadership team.
You won't be chasing volume - you'll be prioritising a smaller number of exceptional prospects and making every outreach count. Expect real ownership over how you prospect, what you say, and which channels you use to get through.
You'll need:
- 6-18 months' experience in an SDR, BDR or new business role - agency, tech, or professional services backgrounds all welcome
- A genuine appetite for cold outreach and the resilience to treat "no" as data, not a setback
- Sharp written communication - no jargon, no scripts that read like scripts
- Comfort (or quick learning) with CRM and prospecting tools like Hubspot, Apollo, Lusha or Sales Navigator
- A curiosity about brands, culture and why people buy. This isn't just a numbers game

Sound like you?
If you're 6-18 months into a BD career and ready to swap admin-heavy SDR life for a seat closer to the senior table - in an industry where the work is genuinely something to talk about - this is worth a conversation.
