Business Development Manager – Folding Cartons

📍 Yorkshire / North of England

💰 Salary: Open – dependent on experience


I’m working with an established UK packaging manufacturer looking to add an experienced Business Development Manager to its commercial team.

About the Role

For this one, the brief is pretty straightforward:

We want to speak to people who know cartons.

If you’ve sold folding cartons / printed carton packaging and have a track record of developing customers and winning new business, I’d like to hear from you.

Responsibilities

The role will involve:

  • Developing new business across the UK
  • Building relationships with brands, manufacturers and end users
  • Identifying and converting new carton opportunities
  • Managing the full sales process from initial conversation through to commercial agreement
  • Working closely with internal production and technical teams
  • Growing and developing accounts once they're on board

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.

The important part is your background.

Ideally, you'll already be working within folding cartons, printed cartons or a closely related carton packaging environment and understand the market, customers and sales process.

Location

You’ll be based in Yorkshire or within a sensible travelling distance, with the flexibility to get out and meet customers.

Application

You don't need to be actively looking.

If you're from the carton industry and would be interested in a confidential conversation about what could tempt you, drop me a message.
