We're a family-run, dynamic, fast-growing flexible packaging business looking for a Business Development Manager with a genuine hunter instinct and the technical grit to back it up.
This is a real opportunity to build something rewarding with long term career potential. You'll have the opportunity to become a key member of the team, reporting to a Director, and a clear path to significant earnings as you grow the business as part of the team. Ideally you'll bring experience from the flexible packaging industry — but a strong technical sales ability and a good fit to our company values matter more than a perfect sector match.
The Role
This is a technical, value-based sale — you'll be trusted to run your own patch, sourcing your own opportunities, building your own pipeline, and getting stuck into the technical detail that turns a conversation into a won account. The role is focused on quality relationships over quick wins, building influence as high up the customer as possible. It's a role that rewards genuine craft and patience with real, tangible results.
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.
