This isn't a corporate sales role where every day is scripted.

- No two days will be the same.
- You'll be out meeting clients, attending networking events, following up referrals and creating opportunities that contribute directly to the company's ongoing success.
Your Responsibilities
- Develop new business opportunities across Cambridgeshire.
- Build and nurture relationships with business owners and decision makers.
- Generate leads through networking, referrals, prospecting and self-generated activity.
- Manage the full sales cycle from initial contact through to negotiation and close.
- Plan and manage your own diary to maximise opportunities.
- Build long-term customer relationships that generate repeat business.
- Work closely with internal commercial and customer support teams.
- Maintain an accurate sales pipeline and CRM.
- Contribute ideas that support the company's ambitious growth plans.
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.
