The Role

This is a field-based role focused on growing our SME customer base. As a Business Development Executive, you’ll be responsible for identifying, winning and onboarding new business opportunities, building a strong sales pipeline, and working closely with operational teams to ensure a smooth and successful customer journey.

You’ll be proactive, sales-driven, and confident working independently — spotting opportunities, opening doors, and converting prospects into long-term CitySprint customers.

Why CitySprint

What we do matters. From everyday deliveries to time-critical, business-critical services, CitySprint helps customers get things done right, first time.

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.
