Our Client
Our client is a well-established, employee-owned technology consultancy based in Edinburgh. They deliver cloud, AI, and managed IT services to organisations across the public and private sectors, and have built a strong reputation for technical excellence, collaborative culture, and long-term client relationships. This is a great opportunity to join a growing business development function within a company that genuinely invests in its people.
The Role
We're looking for a Junior Business Development Manager to support the wider BD team in driving new business activity. This is a fantastic entry point into technology sales for someone who is organised, personable, and keen to build a career in business development. You'll be involved across the full sales cycle — from prospecting and meeting support through to helping get Master Service Agreements (MSAs) over the line.
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.
