Business Development Manager
Employee–Owned Market Research Agency
Remote working (UK Based with some UK travel)
£55-75,000 + bonus
Great opportunity for a commercially savvy Business Development Manager to join an established, employee-owned market research agency at an exciting point in its growth. Working with a diverse mix of UK and international clients, the agency delivers high-quality, bespoke research across a range of sectors and methodologies.
This is a key strategic role on the leadership team of this boutique business, taking ownership of the new business pipeline, identifying and developing prospects across the UK and Europe, building relationships and taking opportunities from initial conversation through to proposal, negotiation and close. Lead generation will be varied encompassing networking, referrals, industry events, targeted outreach and social media activity.
You’ll need to be a confident, consultative market research salesperson who can quickly understand a client’s business challenge and work with the research team to shape a bespoke solution. Strong communication and relationship-building skills will be key, as will the commercial confidence to discuss scope, pricing and negotiate successfully. You’ll also have an important role in raising the agency’s profile through LinkedIn, case studies and other marketing activity.
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.
This role will suit someone with a strong track record of winning new business within a market research agency or consultancy. You’ll be proactive, commercially sharp and self-motivated, equally comfortable working autonomously and as part of a close-knit team.
As an employee-owned business, everyone has a genuine voice in shaping its future and sharing in its success. It’s a supportive, collaborative environment with ambitious growth plans and the opportunity to have a real influence on the commercial direction of the business.
If you’re a market research sales professional who loves winning new business and wants a role where you can really make your mark please get in touch!
