Business Development Manager

Social Housing Solutions Provider

£45,000 - £60,000 (OTE £120k+)

Remote with occasional travel to Manchester City Centre

About the company

This business has been only been operating 2.5 years but is already in multiple large councils across the country.

This business has an engineering solution that addresses a perpetual problem within social housing risking tenant health, to the degree that people have died. Mould.

They have a great business with a product proven to work, but require a salesperson who matches their endless ambition to help them scale.

The role

  • Build relationships with councils - Ingratiate yourself in councils/national housing associations up and down the country.
  • Network with stakeholders - The cost of the product is pretty low on a monthly leasing model - this means stakeholders will ultimately be the buyer and you will establish who they are and stick close to them.
  • Build sales and pricing model - Help build the sales strategy which will be a combo of direct sales, selling through partners, and operating franchise arrangements.
  • Navigate a multi-channel approach - Cold calling, trade shows, networking events, face to face meetings, email, LinkedIn and anything else proven to work should be experimented with to find the right mix.
  • Build sales team - Over time this role will get bigger, with promotions definitely on the cards to the right person who can contribute significant revenue.

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.
