Perch Group is looking for a Business Development Manager to join the team!


About Perch Group

At Perch Group, our vision is clear: to lead the UK debt purchase and collection industry by harnessing cutting-edge technology to drive ethical, efficient, and data-driven debt resolution.

Our annual mission is to empower hundreds of thousands of customers to positively engage with and resolve their outstanding debts. We do this through an empathetic and customer-centric approach that is at the heart of our success.


What We Are Looking For

The Business Development Manager will be responsible for generating and converting new business opportunities across both debt purchase and servicing lines, supporting growth across multiple Group business units.

The role will focus on developing qualified pipeline, building strategic relationships and supporting delivery of the Group’s wider commercial objectives and will support both investment-led growth and expansion of capital-light servicing revenues.


Day-to-Day Responsibilities

The candidate will be responsible for generating new business opportunities across multiple Group service lines by:

  • Generating qualified pipeline across debt purchase and servicing lines.
  • Conducting outbound business development activity across agreed target markets.
  • Building and maintaining strong market and intermediary relationships.
  • Maintaining accurate CRM records, reporting, and opportunity tracking.
  • Working alongside marketing on campaigns, outreach, and lead generation activity.
  • Collaborating with operational and client management teams across the Group.

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.
