A Bit About Forest
We’re Forest. You know, those shared ebikes in London that look like trees. We’re London’s most sustainable shared ebike operator. Our mission is to help cities move greener-and we’re growing fast.
We're now launching Forest for Business - a brand-new solution that helps companies reduce travel costs, supports sustainability goals and gives employees a simple way to travel across London. With a flat rate of £3 per trip, it's a smarter, more affordable alternative to taxis for business travel.
A Bit About The Role
We're looking for an ambitious Business Development Executive to help launch Forest for Business and establish it as London's leading business mobility solution.
This is an opportunity to build something, not simply sell it.
As one of the first people dedicated to Forest for Business, you'll have the freedom to test ideas, shape how we sell and play a key role in building our commercial approach from the ground up.
Alongside a competitive salary and uncapped commission, you'll work directly with our senior leadership, Product and Technology teams, ensuring customer feedback helps shape what we build next.
If you enjoy winning new business, spotting opportunities and want to make a genuine impact in a fast-growing company, we'd love to hear from you.
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

- Developing creative new routes to market that generate scalable growth.

- Working closely with our Product and Technology teams to improve the customer experience and influence the product roadmap.
Who you are:
