About the Opportunity
We're working with an innovative technology business that's transforming the way connected devices communicate across the UK.
It's a role for someone who enjoys getting out, meeting people, starting conversations, building relationships and turning opportunities into long-term partnerships. If you're naturally curious, commercially minded and love the satisfaction of securing a deal, you'll thrive here.
The Role
You'll engage directly with commercial property owners, landlords, housing providers and businesses, helping them understand the benefits of partnering with the business while negotiating long-term site agreements.
Working closely with internal technical teams, you'll help ensure every site moves smoothly from initial conversation through to installation.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and secure rooftops, commercial buildings and strategic locations for network gateway installations.
- Visit prospective sites and build relationships through face-to-face meetings.
- Proactively contact property owners, landlords and businesses via telephone and email.
- Explain the benefits of hosting network equipment in a clear, engaging and non-technical way.
- Negotiate commercial agreements and secure long-term access to suitable sites.
- Coordinate site surveys with technical teams.
- Maintain accurate records of opportunities, negotiations and agreements.
- Manage your own pipeline of opportunities and consistently achieve acquisition targets.
- Represent the business professionally and build lasting relationships with partners across your region.
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.
