Business Development Manager
I'm recruiting a Business Development Manager for a leading international law firm, on a fixed-term contract of just under a year. It's a London-based role covering the firm's EMEA offices across Europe, the Channel Islands, and the Middle East, with one BD Coordinator reporting to you and a line into the global marketing and BD lead.
It's a fixed-term role, so the ask is realistic: you won't be reshaping strategy or BD plans from scratch. That said, strong experience in those areas, and a track record of delivering against them, is what will set you apart.
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.
