🚨 BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER | PACKAGING | UK | REMOTE

Hunters wanted.

If your idea of sales is managing a comfortable book of existing accounts, this probably isn’t the role for you.

But if you genuinely enjoy opening doors, creating opportunities, winning new customers and seeing the commission land as a result, keep reading.

I’m working with a growing UK packaging distributor looking to add a proven Business Development Manager to its commercial team.

Working across flexible packaging, films, labels and associated packaging solutions, they can offer customers a broad range of products rather than being restricted to a single manufacturing capability.

And that creates a big opportunity for the right salesperson.

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.

This is a remote, field-based new business role for someone who wants the freedom to get out into the market, build their own pipeline and win.

They want someone who gets a buzz from:

  • 🎯 Prospecting and identifying new opportunities
  • 📞 Creating conversations with new prospects
  • 🚪 Opening doors that are currently closed
  • 🤝 Building relationships from scratch
  • 💰 Winning profitable new business
  • 📈 Growing a territory and being rewarded for it

This is not an account management role dressed up as business development.

The emphasis is firmly on NEW BUSINESS.

Ideally, you’ll already have experience selling packaging, particularly flexible packaging, films, labels or related products, and you'll be able to demonstrate that you can create and convert your own pipeline.
