Full Time / St Nicholas at Wade
About The Role
We are looking for a motivated and customer-focused Parts Business Development Manager to join our busy Barretts Parts Hub team. This role is focused on building strong trade parts sales relationships, supporting customers with their parts requirements, and delivering an outstanding customer experience in line with manufacturer standards and Barretts policies.
Working with trade customers in person and over the telephone, you will take the time to understand their requirements, identify the correct parts, explain the benefits of genuine manufacturer parts, and ensure each customer receives a clear, professional, and efficient service.
You will also play an important part in developing trade sales opportunities, promoting current offers, processing orders accurately, and working closely with colleagues across the Hub to support a high-performing and customer-focused parts operation.
What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate will be confident, commercially aware, and able to build rapport with trade customers quickly. You should be comfortable handling customer enquiries, managing objections, identifying linked parts or additional sales opportunities, and working accurately within pricing, discounting, and process guidelines.
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.
