Business Development Manager – Education & Accessibility
Warwick | Hybrid: Thursday + one other office day per week
£45,000 base + up to £15,000 commission (£60,000 total OTE)
Can you win new business, build relationships with decision-makers and turn customer needs into commercially successful solutions?
We’re partnering with Widgit, a purpose-driven software company and Certified B Corp, to recruit a Business Development Manager. Widgit helps people understand information and communicate through symbols, making education, services and everyday environments more accessible.
Reporting to the Head of Commercial, you’ll drive new business across three key areas:
- Multi-Entity Accounts: win group-wide agreements with Multi-Academy Trusts, local authorities and other multi-site education organisations.
- Symbol Friendly Organisations: build relationships with businesses and public services looking to improve accessibility through symbol-supported communication, including leisure centres, gyms, zoos and other visitor attractions.
- Signage and projects: develop opportunities for accessible door signs, communication boards, playground signage and other practical communication materials.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What you’ll do
- Generate opportunities through targeted outreach, networking, events and collaboration with Marketing.
- Own the sales cycle from discovery and demonstrations through proposals, negotiation and close.
- Build relationships with budget holders and stakeholders across complex organisations.
- Work with education and product specialists to develop appropriate customer solutions.
- Maintain an accurate pipeline and forecast, then coordinate a smooth handover to account management and customer success.
What we’re looking for
- A track record of winning new B2B business through consultative selling.
- Experience selling to education, public sector or large multi-site organisations.
- A background in EdTech, SaaS, education services, accessibility or a relevant adjacent market.
- Confidence managing multiple decision-makers and taking opportunities through to signed agreement.
- Strong commercial judgement, CRM discipline and an interest in accessibility and inclusion.
- Experience with MATs, SEND, signage or project-based solutions would be valuable.
