๐น Are you a genuine NEW BUSINESS HUNTER?
Do you know how to open doors with Tier 1 organisations, engage senior decision-makers and turn cold prospects into valuable commercial partnerships?
We're working with a leading international education group, operating a large network of premium schools across multiple countries and continents. They are now looking for a Corporate Business Development Manager to build and grow their global corporate partnership network.
And this is important...

๐ฏ What you'll be doing
- Identify and target Tier 1 and enterprise organisations across priority markets
- Build and own a high-quality new-business pipeline
- Identify senior decision-makers across HR, Global Mobility, Talent, Benefits and Relocation
- Generate opportunities through cold calling, email, LinkedIn, referrals and networking
- Take prospects from cold outreach โ meeting โ negotiation โ partnership
- Secure new corporate and institutional partnerships
- Identify opportunities to expand successful relationships across multiple schools, regions and markets
- Build partnerships that generate qualified family referrals and prospective student leads
- Maintain excellent CRM and pipeline discipline
- Re-engage high-potential opportunities that have stalled
- Work with senior internal stakeholders to convert opportunities into successful partnerships
- Use market intelligence and pipeline data to identify the strongest commercial opportunities
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iโm in my final year doing Economics and I donโt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer โ it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donโt need a masters. Letโs look at the ones youโd 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 โ that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
