Business Development Executive

Build new customer relationships and contribute directly to the growth of client campaigns.

About the opportunity

Relay Direct is a growing UK sales and marketing company helping recognised brands reach new customers through direct, face-to-face campaigns. We are looking for a Business Development Executive who can bring energy, commercial awareness, and a relationship-led approach to customer acquisition.

Working from our Milton Keynes base and across live B2B, B2C, and event campaigns, you will identify new opportunities, understand customer needs, and communicate client offerings with clarity. This role suits someone who enjoys taking initiative and wants their individual activity to have a visible impact on campaign growth.

Your responsibilities

  • Engaging customers: Representing leading brands face-to-face
  • Driving business growth: Promoting products and services, generating leads, and acquiring new customers.
  • Achieving goals: Working towards ambitious performance targets and striving to exceed expectations.
  • Building your communication, sales, business, and management skills through ongoing training and mentorship.

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.
