Business Development Managers - Why You Should Apply
Grow the business: How often do you get to build a portfolio from scratch with the board behind you? This British roofing products manufacturer, backed by an international group, has signed off £1.5m of growth over two years, and you would be its first Business Development Manager.
Leads already warming: A marketing specialist is in place and generating enquiries ahead of your start, so you build a pipeline rather than a cold list.
A product that opens doors: The refurbishment system you'll lead with has almost no direct competition in the UK, so you're rarely up against a rival quote.
Progression: Grow the numbers and the next sales hires could report to you.

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.
