Business Development Manager (Northeast) - Residential
Location: Remote (with regular travel across the North East)
Type: Full-Time | Permanent
Reports to: UK Residential Business Development Manager
Is This the Right Role for You?
You’re commercially minded, motivated by making things happen, and ready to play a key role in growing something meaningful. You enjoy creating new opportunities, building relationships that last, and working across teams to get deals over the line, and done right.
You know what good looks like in business development: clarity, trust, results. You’re confident navigating technical projects, communicating value to different stakeholders, and staying focused in a fast-moving environment.
This role gives you real scope to support growth in one of the UK’s most exciting infrastructure sectors, and to do it in a business that walks its talk and backs its team.
What You’ll Be Doing
As Business Development Manager for our North East region, you’ll be the driver of growth across the region. This isn’t about cold calling or quick wins, it’s about building a healthy pipeline, nurturing the right partnerships, and connecting clients to solutions that genuinely work.
Your Core Responsibilities
- Lead generation & pipeline building: Identify and qualify new opportunities across residential projects
- Client development: Build trust with decision-makers; understanding their priorities and presenting bespoke solutions that align with their goals
- Deal conversion: Work closely with internal teams to scope, price, and secure contracts that are commercially viable and deliverable
- Market insight: Stay on top of regional and sector-specific trends, using insight to shape strategy and anticipate client needs
- Cross-functional collaboration: Align with design, pre-construction, and delivery teams to ensure smooth transitions from proposal to project
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.
