We are working with an established technology services business that is looking for an experienced Business Development Manager as part of its continued growth.
The role will initially be focused on new business, identifying target customers, opening doors and developing complex, high-value opportunities.

The Role
- Build a strong pipeline of new-business opportunities
- Identify and engage prospective customers across the technology infrastructure market
- Develop relationships with senior commercial, operational and technical stakeholders
- Understand customer requirements and coordinate with internal specialists to develop suitable solutions
- Manage consultative and project-led opportunities through the complete sales cycle
- Negotiate commercial agreements and secure new customers
- Develop the accounts you introduce to the business
- Maintain accurate CRM, pipeline and forecasting information
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re looking for someone with:
- A proven track record of generating and winning new business
- Experience selling IT, technology or infrastructure products, services or solutions
- Credible commercial exposure to the data-centre market
- An understanding of the organisations, stakeholders and commercial relationships within the wider data-centre ecosystem
- The ability to identify relevant target customers and create opportunities from scratch
- Confidence engaging senior business and technical decision-makers
- Experience managing complex sales with multiple stakeholders and longer sales cycles
- A proactive, resilient and commercially focused approach
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Your background could include IT infrastructure, connectivity, networking, hardware, cloud, managed services, systems integration, consultancy or another technology-led solutions environment.
You do not need to be selling the same solutions today or be a dedicated data-centre specialist. However, you should already understand the data-centre market, know which organisations and stakeholders to approach, and be able to demonstrate success in winning new customers.
Please apply with your updated CV for further information.
