Business Development Executive @ Running Paper
Remote | £30,000 to £35,000 | Full time
About Running Paper
Running Paper is an AI marking and assessment platform for schools. We mark pen and paper assessments at scale, giving teachers their time back and helping students get faster, personalised feedback. We cover KS3 to KS5 across the majority of subjects and work with more than 100 secondary schools and over 20 multi academy trusts (MATs).
We're an early stage startup and we're growing. We're a team of six full time. The pace is fast and the work is hard, but you'll get real autonomy and see the direct impact of what you do.
The role
As our first Business Development Executive, you'll help more schools discover Running Paper. Your main focus is getting school decision makers to a demo. Demos booked is the number that matters most and you'll see your impact on it every week.
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.
You'll own outbound campaigns from day one, test new channels and double down on what works.
What you'll do
- Own our outbound strategy. Decide how we reach new schools, whether that's LinkedIn, physical post, email or a mix. Then run it end to end: target lists, messaging, campaigns and tracking what converts.
- Build the brand on LinkedIn. Run our LinkedIn presence and organic content so schools recognise our name before we reach out, bringing in more warm leads.
- Represent Running Paper at schools and UK education conferences throughout the year, connecting directly with senior leaders and trust executives.
