Build Something Significant. Lead Colt’s Public Sector Growth Story.
While Colt has an established reputation across enterprise and global markets, our UK Public Sector business is still at an exciting stage of growth. We know the market opportunity is substantial. We believe our solutions, network capability and investment are exactly what public sector organisations need as they accelerate digital transformation, strengthen cyber resilience and modernise critical infrastructure.
Now we're looking for the person who can help us unlock that potential.
We're seeking a highly connected, commercially driven Business Development Manager with deep expertise in UK Public Sector procurement, frameworks and technology sales. Someone who already knows the key decision-makers, understands how public sector buying works, and is excited by the challenge of building, shaping and growing a market for a global brand.
Why This Role?
If you're motivated by growth, influence and autonomy, this is a rare opportunity to make a visible impact.
You'll be empowered to:
- Define and execute Colt's UK Public Sector growth strategy
- Open doors, build relationships and create opportunities across government, healthcare, local government, blue-light and education sectors
- Influence senior leaders internally and externally
- Shape our positioning within key procurement frameworks and routes to market
- Establish Colt as a trusted strategic technology partner across the Public Sector landscape
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.
