Business Development Manager – Data Centre Infrastructure

Salary: £60,000–£85,000 basic + £30k–£50k OTE
An established and growing infrastructure solutions business is looking to add an experienced Business Development Manager to its sales team as part of its continued growth plans.
This is a genuine new-business role focused on the data-centre sector. You’ll be responsible for:
- Identifying opportunities
- Opening doors
- Building senior relationships
- Winning complex projects
- Retaining ownership of the accounts you bring in and developing them over time
We’re looking for someone who has a strong understanding of the data-centre world. You’ll know the wider ecosystem, the different organisations involved in delivering data-centre projects and how opportunities develop across the market.
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.
