BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER — IT HARDWARE SALES
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER — IT HARDWARE SALES 📍 North Yorkshire | 💰 £35,000–£55,000 DOE | Double OTE | Office Based (Hybrid after 6 months)
The Opportunity We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established IT hardware reseller based in North Yorkshire. The business specialises in the supply of new, used and refurbished IT equipment — including servers, networking, storage, racking and data centre infrastructure — to businesses across the UK and internationally. This is a fantastic opportunity for a hungry IT sales professional to join a growing business, take ownership of a new business patch and build something significant. The product set is broad, the market is active and the commission is uncapped.
The Role As Business Development Manager you'll be responsible for driving new business revenue across a range of IT hardware product lines. This is a self-generating role — you'll be expected to prospect, pitch and close your own deals with no warm pipeline handed to you. You'll be office based in North Yorkshire for the first six months before moving to a hybrid working pattern.
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.
