We’re looking for an enthusiastic and driven Business Development Executive to join a growing team within the industrial sector. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys research, relationship building and outbound calling, and who wants to play a key role in generating new opportunities for a successful sales and estimating function.

What You’ll Be Doing
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.
