Business Development Partner — Commission-Based | Remote
PerkPines is a design and marketing studio delivering for government, institutional and private-sector clients and we're actively expanding into the UK market.
British businesses are increasingly looking beyond their own borders for design and marketing capacity, as talent shortages and rising in-house costs make it harder to scale creative operations from London to Manchester to Edinburgh. We want to be the studio UK companies turn to and we need someone who already has the relationships to make that happen.
We're looking for a well-connected Business Development Partner based in or deeply networked across the UK, who can open doors with decision-makers looking for design and marketing support without the overhead of building an in-house team.
What You'll Do
- Introduce us to decision-makers at UK companies, agencies, or institutions who need design and marketing support
- Help set up opportunities for us to pitch or present our work
- Flag organizations facing the talent gap or budget pressure that's pushing UK businesses toward offshore creative partners
- Be the connector, we own the strategy, the pitch, and the delivery from India
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.
