Business Development Manager - Technology & Talent Solutions

Leeds City Centre - Hybrid
Up to £60,000 basic + realistic £80,000 - £100,000 OTE, uncapped

Spend your time winning and developing clients, with an established recruitment team behind you to deliver the work you create.

  • Earn ongoing commission from business you've originated.

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.

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.

  • Technology recruitment
  • Consultancy and project-based solutions
  • Leadership and coaching programmes

You'll identify target organisations, create conversations with senior decision-makers, get out to meet clients, and develop opportunities through to commercial agreement.

This is proper hands-on BD. Intelligent research matters but so does picking up the phone, creating meetings, and turning conversations into revenue.

Who Could Fit?

You might be:

  • A Senior/Principal Recruiter strongest at winning business
  • A recruitment BDM, Client Development Manager, or Account Director
  • Selling technology consultancy, project teams, or talent solutions
  • Selling RPO/MSP or closely related people-led professional services

Your title matters less than your track record. You'll need evidence that you've personally opened new accounts, secured senior-level meetings, and converted opportunities into paying clients.

What You'll Get

  • Up to £60,000 basic
  • Realistic £80,000-£100,000 OTE
  • Uncapped 10-15% commission on business generated
  • Additional bonus opportunity

  • Established delivery capability behind you
  • Direct access to the founders
  • Autonomy over how you develop your market
  • Leeds city-centre hybrid working
  • Scope for the role to grow as the business develops

If you're good at creating new business but feel you could achieve more with greater autonomy, more to take to market, and a delivery team behind you, I'd be interested in speaking confidentially.
