Business Development Executive
London | Hybrid | £35,000 to £40,000 basic + £45,000 to £60,000 OTE package
We’re working with a well-established EdTech and e-learning business that provides technology-led learning, training and development programmes to organisations across the UK.
The business works with a wide range of various sector and commercial organisations, helping them develop their people through high-quality e-learning and professional development solutions.
This is a genuine new-business opportunity for someone who enjoys prospecting, building relationships and closing new clients. You’ll have the opportunity to work with organisations across a range of sectors, identify new opportunities and take ownership of the sales process from initial outreach through to closing.
The Role
As a Business Development Executive, you’ll be responsible for generating new business and growing the customer base.
You’ll spend your time identifying target organisations, engaging decision-makers, qualifying opportunities and presenting the value of tailored learning and development programmes. This is a target-driven role with strong earning potential and uncapped commission, making it ideal for someone who is commercially motivated and wants to progress their career in sales.
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.
