Salary: Up to £60,000, OTE £80,000+ (Year 1), £100,000+ (year 2)
Car: Company car or car allowance
Industry: Electronics / Power Solutions

Are you a commercially driven Business Development Manager with experience in electronics, ideally within power electronics? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing organisation delivering both standard and bespoke power solutions across a wide range of industries.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong technical understanding of electronic components, particularly power supplies, DC/DC converters or similar, who enjoys building relationships, identifying new opportunities, and driving business growth.

The Role

As Business Development Manager, you’ll be responsible for managing and growing key customer accounts while identifying and developing new business opportunities across the UK and beyond. You’ll act as a trusted partner to customers, offering technical and commercial support to deliver tailored solutions.

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.
