Business Development Executive
Bristol | £25,000 – £30,000 base + commission | £35,000 OTE
Most phone-based sales jobs keep you at your desk. This one comes with a passport.
The company
An established Bristol business designing and building exhibition stands for brands across the UK and internationally.
They handle everything in-house, from first concept to finished build. Custom stands, modular systems, self-build kits - whatever the client's space and budget calls for.
The role
You'll work an existing database and open doors. Find the marketing and events teams already spending money on exhibitions, start the conversation, and get the business in front of them.
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.
Your job is creating the opportunity. Book the pitch, hand over a live prospect, go again. Do it well and you'll build a pipeline that carries you into bigger deals and bigger commission.
Why this role
- International travel. You'll go overseas to prospect for new business and meet clients on-site while their stands are live.
- You report straight into the Managing Director, who started his career in this kind of role. He'll teach you what actually works because he's done it. That's rare at this level.
- Hybrid working once you're up to speed. Office-based in Bristol first so you learn the product properly.

What you need
- B2B sales experience
- Phone-based selling. You're happy calling someone who isn't expecting you.
- CRM and database experience.
- Based in or near Bristol, and up for being in the office daily while you onboard
You don't need exhibitions experience. They'll teach you the sector, but you will need to demonstrate an aptitude for sales.
