Our client is powering the transition to clean, sustainable living - its time to join the team at an exciting time!
We are looking for a driven Business Development Manager with a true hunter mentality, someone who thrives on opening doors, creating new relationships, and winning business in a fast-growing, competitive market. This is a field-based role with full autonomy across the UK, alongside weekly collaboration in HQ with product, engineering, and leadership teams.

Build strong, long-term relationships through a consultative and solution led approach. Present and position propositions to senior stakeholders and technical teams.

Attend client meetings and industry events to represent the business and grow brand presence. Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline management within the CRM. Keep informed on CleanTech trends to shape new opportunities.
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.
