The Opportunity:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Business Development Manager to join a growing team within the renewable energy and energy flexibility sector.

This is a commercially focused role, responsible for developing new business opportunities, building strategic partnerships and identifying routes to market for innovative energy solutions that help businesses optimise electricity usage and support the transition to Net Zero.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with strategic partners, TPIs and key stakeholders at all levels.
  • Identify and develop new channel partners and networks in line with the company's route-to-market strategy.
  • Generate and manage new business opportunities, from initial engagement through to commercial development.
  • Work closely with external partners to ensure they understand the company's products, services and evolving propositions.
  • Understand customer requirements and the key commercial factors influencing decision makers.
  • Support tender submissions and opportunity management, particularly across new and developing areas of the business.
  • Work with commercial and optimisation teams to develop pricing models and customer propositions around flexible demand.
  • Contribute to the development of new products, services and market propositions within a rapidly evolving sector.
  • Attend industry events to develop market knowledge, build relationships and identify new commercial opportunities.

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.
