Harrison Clarke is the Search & Venture firm that partners with tier-1 VCs and their portfolio companies to build world-class teams, invest through Harrison Clarke Ventures, and support founders far beyond hiring. We are truly unlike any company that exists.

The Role

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager who loves the process of business development itself, the conversations, the relationship-building, the strategy, the long game. This is not a pure sales role. You’ll operate at the intersection of talent and venture capital, helping us deepen partnerships with founders, investors, and the next generation of category-defining companies in Cloud, Data & AI.

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.
