We’re looking for a Business Development Executive to grow our accountancy training and apprenticeship offering through new business development and strong employer relationships.

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.

What you’ll do
- Generate and develop new B2B opportunities
- Research markets, prospective customers and decision-makers
- Manage opportunities through the full sales process
- Build relationships with existing customers and identify growth opportunities
- Follow up and convert inbound enquiries
- Use phone, email, social media, networking and meetings to engage customers
- Work with marketing on targeted lead-generation activity
- Maintain an accurate sales pipeline and CRM records
What we’re looking for
Essential:
- Proven B2B sales or business development experience
- Experience generating new business and achieving sales targets
- Confidence engaging and influencing decision-makers
- A consultative, relationship-led sales approach
- Initiative and the ability to develop your own prospecting approach
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Desirable:
- Experience in apprenticeships, learning and development, professional training or employer engagement
- Knowledge of the accountancy training market
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys creating opportunities rather than simply following an established sales process, with scope to help shape how we approach and win new business.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you - Apply Today!
