Build Relationships. Create Opportunities. Make an Impact.
We're looking for a proactive, commercially-minded Business Development Manager to help grow Carnegie Group across the South East.
This isn't a traditional hard-sales role. It's an opportunity for someone who enjoys building genuine relationships, networking, representing a respected business, organising events, supporting marketing activity and coordinating tenders.
Key Responsibilities
- Generate new business through networking, referrals and targeted outreach.
- Build relationships with clients, developers, architects and consultants.
- Reconnect with previous customers and develop repeat business opportunities.
- Represent Carnegie Group at networking events, trade shows and industry functions.
- Organise and host business and client events.
- Manage and maintain the sales pipeline using Zoho CRM.
- Work with our marketing agency to showcase projects and maintain marketing materials.
- Coordinate the tender process and maintain the tender library.
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.

- Confident making introductions and developing new opportunities.
- Commercially aware, resilient and professional.
