Business Development Manager – SaaS Sales
📍 Hybrid – Farringdon, London [2 days in the office]
💰 Competitive base + Double OTE [Uncapped]
Do you thrive on taking deals from first contact through to close? Are you skilled at proactive outreach and confident managing a full sales cycle role?
This role owns the full 360 cycle targeting the UK agency market (PR, Marketing & Public Affairs agencies) — bringing in new clients through smart, targeted outreach, running sharp discovery, delivering tailored demos, and closing deals. It’s ideal for either a proven closer or a high-performing SDR/BDR who's had exposure of taking deals from end-to-end.
This is a role with real impact: sell a platform agencies use daily—your wins show up in usage, renewals, and case studies. If you've got the right attitude, there is a significant earning potential: generous commission scheme, accelerators, incentives, and clear targets.
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role will:
- Identify and engage decision-makers in PR, Marketing, and Public Affairs agencies, tailoring outreach to their priorities.
- Run multi-touch prospecting (calls, email, LinkedIn), generate new opportunities, and progress inbound leads from marketing campaigns.
- Conduct needs analysis, deliver tailored product demos, discuss pricing options, negotiate terms, and close deals.
- Forecast accurately, manage longer-term pipeline, and report progress against targets.
- Collaborate with Sales, Insights, Political & Marketing teams on campaigns and outreach.
- Represent the business at industry events and meet-ups to raise awareness and build connections.
This role needs:
- Proven experience in a quota-bearing sales role (Closing experience highly desirable; SaaS experience a bonus).
- Strong outreach and objection handling skills and comfort working a full 360 sales cycle.
- A confident, adaptable communicator who can engage senior stakeholders and build trust quickly.
- Highly organised, target-driven, and proactive in a fast-paced environment.
- Nice to have: experience with Salesforce, SalesLoft, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
