Business Development Manager - IT Solutions for Education

£33,000 to £38,000 basic salary per annum plus commission (approx. £15k OTE per annum) and benefits including hybrid-working, 23 days holiday, pension, bonus, excellent training and development opportunities etc

My client is a very successful education-focused IT solutions provider, helping schools and Multi-Academy Trusts with IT support, cyber security, cloud and wider technology services. They are now looking for a driven Business Development Manager to open new doors and continue growing their presence across the North of England and Midlands.

About the Role

The Business Development Manager will be new business-focused, so the role is ideal for a B2B sales professional who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and selling a proper solution rather than simply quoting a price.

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.
