The Opportunity

We are working with a major global financial services organisation to recruit a Business Development Manager for its Vendor Finance team across the North West.

This is a predominantly new business role, focused on opening doors, building strategic partnerships and driving growth across the soft asset market. The territory is established, with strong potential to develop new relationships, re-engage dormant accounts and grow business across technology-led sectors.

You will have the backing of a recognised global brand, a strong digital finance proposition and the autonomy to develop the territory and make it your own.

Benefits

  • £50,000–£55,000 basic salary
  • Performance-related annual bonus
  • Remote and flexible working
  • Employer pension contributions of up to 10%
  • 26 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Option to buy or sell up to 5 additional days' holiday
  • Private healthcare
  • Subsidised healthcare for immediate family
  • Strong internal career development opportunities

The Role

You will be responsible for developing new business and growing existing relationships across the North West.

Your customer base will include manufacturers, distributors, vendors and technology partners across sectors such as IT, Telecoms, Smart Devices, CCTV, Smart Buildings, Mailroom Solutions, Recycling Solutions, or other soft asset and technology-led 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.
