About the Company

Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where your work directly impacts growth and success? We are looking for a motivated and commercially driven Business Development Executive to join our growing team at QBS. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in software or IT sales who wants to work with leading technology vendors, develop strategic partnerships, and play a key role in driving business growth.

The Role

As a Business Development Executive, you will be responsible for driving sales and expanding market presence for a portfolio of allocated software products. You will work closely with customers, resellers, system houses, publishers, and internal teams to identify opportunities, deliver value-led solutions, and achieve ambitious sales targets. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys relationship-building, understands the sales cycle, and is confident discussing technology solutions with both commercial and technical stakeholders.

What You'll be Doing

  • Driving sales growth across allocated software products and vendor portfolios
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with new and existing customers, resellers, and partners
  • Managing the full sales cycle from prospecting and account development through to closing and processing orders
  • Identifying new business opportunities through market research and industry awareness
  • Developing a strong understanding of products and communicating their value effectively
  • Working collaboratively with marketing and internal teams to execute sales campaigns and strategies
  • Delivering product training and support to partners and colleagues
  • Maintaining accurate CRM records and reporting on pipeline activity, forecasts, and KPIs
  • Acting quickly and professionally in responding to customer and partner enquiries

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.
