About the Role
We are looking for a driven and commercially focused Business Development Executive to join our growing team. This is a high-impact role that sits at the heart of our revenue engine, bridging the gap between marketing activity and meaningful sales engagement.
Beyond simply generating leads, you will play a key role in shaping the first impressions of LIMA.
Your focus will be on generating demand, qualifying opportunities, and ensuring a consistent flow of well-matched appointments into the sales pipeline, helping drive sustainable business growth across our key vertical markets in both the public and private sectors.
Day to day you will:
- Proactively generate outbound leads through telemarketing, LinkedIn and other demand-generation activity targeting agreed vertical markets.
- Manage inbound leads by responding to marketing enquiries, qualifying prospects and uncovering customer challenges.
- Engage with decision-makers at all levels to build trusted relationships through a consultative, outcomes-focused approach.
- Act as a brand ambassador for LIMA, representing the business at online and in-person events.
- Work closely with the Marketing team to plan campaigns, follow up on activity and provide feedback on performance.
- Consistently achieve targets by booking sales-qualified meetings with key decision-makers.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date lead information and status within HubSpot.
- Liaise with Sales and Marketing teams on campaign planning, SAA progress and pipeline contribution.
- Build and maintain targeted prospect lists for priority sectors and vertical markets.
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.
