Business Development Manager
Strategic Energy & Sustainability Partnership (GridDuck)
UK based | Up to £40k basic + uncapped commission
At Consultus, we help organisations use energy better, which means lowering costs, reducing carbon and making sense of complex estates in a way that actually works in the real world.
This role plays a direct part in that. We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to grow our strategic partnership with GridDuck, an energy management platform helping commercial organisations gain real visibility and control across their buildings.
This is a focused, new business role with a clear offering, a straightforward value proposition and the freedom to take real ownership of outcomes.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
Your focus will be winning new business for GridDuck across the UK commercial market.
In practice, that means:
Owning the full sales cycle, from first conversations through to close Identifying and engaging new decision makers, and guiding them through to a close Having practical, value-led conversations about energy cost, performance and carbon reduction Working closely with GridDuck’s technical specialists to shape the right solution for each client Building and managing a realistic pipeline, and being accountable for your results
This is a genuine new business role. You’ll be measured on delivery and impact, not activity for activity’s sake.
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.

What You’ll Be Selling
GridDuck is an IoT-led energy management platform designed specifically for commercial buildings. It gives organisations clear, real-time insight into electricity, gas and water usage, without the cost or complexity of traditional building management systems.
This is a conversation that resonates. With energy costs high and carbon targets under scrutiny, clients want solutions that help them take control rather than add complexity, which is where you come in.
Who This Role Is Likely To Suit
You don’t need a background in energy or sustainability, although experience there would be useful.
You will need to be someone who:
Has solid experience in B2B new business sales Is comfortable owning the full sales process and being accountable for targets Enjoys selling solutions rather than off-the-shelf products Can build credibility with senior decision-makers Is motivated by results and the opportunity to increase earnings through performance
This role will suit someone who enjoys the chase, closing deals and being trusted to get on with it.
