Business Development Manager

We are currently supporting a fast-growing renewable energy business that develops and finances behind-the-meter solar projects for commercial and industrial customers across the UK.

The business is now looking for a Business Development Manager to build and develop the partner network responsible for delivering its growing solar portfolio. You will work across commercial strategy, partnerships and project delivery, ensuring the business has the right relationships and delivery capacity to support its continued growth, focused on working with TPI's and EPC's.

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.
