Business Development Partner Remote | Flexible Hours | Self-Employed / Freelance
At GYST, we help people Get Your Sh*t Together.
We know that's not for everyone. That's kind of the point. Most leadership and culture programmes are full of buzzwords, vague promises, and fluffy advice that sounds great on LinkedIn but changes absolutely nothing in the real world.
We do things differently.
We work with leaders and teams who want practical, honest insights into how they actually behave when things get difficult. One of our flagship experiences is the Meltdown, an immersive, pressure-based leadership experience that reveals what really happens to communication, decision-making, trust and teamwork when the heat is on.
Because everyone thinks they're a brilliant leader... until the pressure arrives.
We're looking for commercially-minded Business Development Partners to help us get Meltdown in front of the organisations that need it most.
This Is Not A Traditional Sales Job
- We're not looking for someone to sit through endless internal meetings.
- We're not looking for someone who wants to be micromanaged.
- And we're definitely not looking for someone who needs a manager asking what they've been doing every hour.
This is a freelance, self-employed opportunity for someone who knows how to create opportunities and start conversations.
Your job is simple:
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Identify decision-makers
- Start conversations
- Generate interest
- Book qualified meetings
- Open doors
Our team handles the discovery calls, proposals and sales process. You focus on creating new opportunities.
Who You'll Be Speaking To
You'll primarily target:
- HR Directors
- People & Culture Leaders
- Learning & Development Managers
- Managing Directors
- Founders
- Senior Leadership Teams
The organisations we work with are typically ambitious SMEs and growing businesses that care about performance and leadership, all the way up to Enterprise-level companies looking for a cultural revamp.
Who We're Looking For
You might already be:
- A freelance SDR or BDR
- A recruiter with strong business development skills
- A sales professional looking for an additional income stream
- A consultant with a strong network
- Someone who naturally enjoys opening conversations and building relationships
You'll probably do well if you:
- Are comfortable speaking with senior decision-makers
- Can write a decent LinkedIn message without sounding like a robot
- Understand that sales is a process, not magic
- Are resilient when people ignore you
- Care about results more than excuses
- Want flexibility and autonomy
Who This Won't Suit
This probably isn't for you if:
- You need a guaranteed salary
- You dislike outreach
- You avoid picking up the phone
- You need constant supervision
- You expect leads to be handed to you
- You're looking for a corporate career ladder

You're introducing leaders to something memorable, practical and genuinely useful. You'll get:
- Full onboarding
- Messaging and outreach support
- Access to our founders
- Flexible working arrangements
- Complete autonomy
- A product that people actually want to talk about
