We're looking to recruit a Business Development Manager to join our Microsoft Cloud team. Working within a successful team that continues to grow year on year, you'll play a key role in driving cloud growth, identifying new opportunities, and supporting our partner community.
This is a varied role that combines business development with consultative account support.

Core responsibilities:
- Managing and growing relationships with Microsoft partners, identifying opportunities to support their business objectives and drive cloud growth.
- Handling a variety of partner enquiries, quotations, and requests, providing a responsive and solutions-focused service.
- Engaging with partners by phone, Teams, and email to understand their needs, offer guidance, and uncover new opportunities.
- Working closely with Microsoft and internal teams to deliver the right cloud solutions, programmes, and services for partners and their customers.
- Managing opportunities throughout the sales cycle, maintaining accurate pipeline information and supporting business performance targets.
- Balancing commercial activity with day-to-day account management, problem-solving, and operational responsibilities in a fast-paced environment.
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.
