Business Development Manager

We’re looking for a highly motivated Business Development Manager with proven experience in the Further Education (FE) sector to join City & Guilds.

Covering the West Midlands, you’ll drive growth by developing new opportunities and managing key accounts across our portfolio. A typical working week is 4 days out with customers and 1 day home based.

This home-based role but you will need to be based in the West Midlands. This role is supplemented by a car allowance as well as a sales incentive plan.

We are wanting to hear from candidates with outstanding business development and account management skills that have demonstrable experience and understanding of the opportunities, challenges and solutions within the Further Education market.

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.
