Business Development Executive Horsforth, Leeds | £28,000 - £30,000 Basic + Uncapped Commission

If you're motivated by targets, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and get a buzz from creating new opportunities, this could be the role you've been looking for.

We're supporting a rapidly growing B2B business that's backed by private equity and entering an exciting new phase of expansion. With revenues exceeding £3.5 million and ambitious growth plans in place, they're investing heavily in their commercial team and looking for talented individuals who want to be part of the journey.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business where fresh ideas are encouraged, success is recognised, and progression is genuinely achievable.

About the Role

As a Business Development Executive, you'll be responsible for opening doors, generating opportunities, and building a strong pipeline of potential clients.

The business takes a modern approach to sales and prospecting. You'll use a mixture of LinkedIn outreach, personalised video messages, voice notes, calls, and tailored campaigns to engage decision-makers and create meaningful conversations.

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.
