Business Development Executive – Security Solutions | UK (Hybrid, Home-Based)
Are you in B2B or B2G sales within a technical field — IT, networking, electronics or engineered systems, selling into commercial, government or corporate enterprise environments? Ready for a step up into longer, more complex, higher-value sales cycles?
We're interested in commercially driven salespeople who combine genuine technical curiosity with the ability to open doors and build lasting relationships. Above all, we're looking for drive and appetite rather than years served.
The opportunity
Our client provides high-value, mission-critical security systems and individual opportunities can reach seven figures and typically involve structured bid and tender processes. If you haven't sold at this level before, that's fine: you'll work alongside a Senior Business Development Manager who will guide and develop you through bids and tenders of this scale.
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.
- Full product training is provided
- You'll be backed by engineering and pre-sales technical consultants throughout
You don't need an engineering degree. A technical foundation or genuine interest in electronics, IT systems, integration or networking is highly relevant, but curiosity and the willingness to learn a differentiated product matter more.
The role
Your primary focus is opening up new markets with proactive outreach and business development into new verticals where there is a clear requirement for this class of security product. Alongside this, you'll take on a portfolio of established accounts in law enforcement, government and similar sectors, with a proper transition and handover period so you inherit these relationships gradually, not cold.

The client
We are retained by one of the world's leading providers of products and solutions serving Defence, Aerospace and Critical National Infrastructure programmes across the UK and Europe. This is a rare opportunity to join a global business of significant scale at the start of a deliberate market expansion with a genuinely differentiated product, a strong existing revenue base, and established customers already in place.
The practicals
- Home-based with weekly time at the office (hybrid)
- Regular visits to customer sites across the UK
- Competitive package commensurate with a role of this scope
If you're an ambitious salesperson ready for a more complex, higher-stakes sell we'd like to hear from you.
