Location: London, Four days a week in the office.
Most BDR jobs hand you one product and a script. This one gives you three routes to a solution and asks you to work out which one actually fits. Some calls end in a search assignment. Some end with a client posting on our job board, or hiring the role themselves on our own platform. You qualify, not close, and getting that judgement right is what makes you good at this.
Why this role exists
Net Zero Evolution recruits for the decarbonisation of transport and energy: EVs, renewables, hydrogen, and the infrastructure behind them. We built our name in search, but we also run our own job board and a hiring technology platform, because the honest goal here is making clients less dependent on agencies, not more dependent. Three routes to market under one roof is unusual for a recruitment business our size, and it is what keeps this job a real conversation instead of a script.
What you'll do
You will speak to hiring teams across the UK, Europe and the US and work out what they actually need: search support for a hard role, a place to advertise their own vacancies, or a platform that lets their internal team hire more without leaning on an agency for every seat. You qualify the need, match it to the right route, and book the meeting or demo with our Client Management team, who take it from there.
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.
We use AI to do the research and build the account plans, so you are never handed a raw list of 500 names and left to work out cold who is worth calling. That part is done before you pick up the phone. What happens on the call is entirely yours.
About you
You do not need recruitment or SaaS experience. You do need plenty of outbound experience already, cold calling, cold email or appointment setting, anywhere you have contacted someone who was not expecting it and got a result. You are naturally curious, happy asking a second and third question rather than pitching on the first, and organised enough to run a proper pipeline. Because our clients sit across the UK, Europe and the US, your hours need to flex around that: some early starts for Europe, some evenings for the US. That flexibility is part of the job.

You start on £30,000 to £33,000 basic, rising to £35,000 to £40,000 within your first year as your pipeline builds. Commission on top is uncapped, with monthly, quarterly and annual incentives, and realistic on-target earnings of £55,000 in year one and £85,000 in year two.
This is our first BDR hire, so there is no worn path to follow, you set it. Do this well and the honest route out is Head of Outbound within two to three years, building and running the team of BDRs who come after you, working from the playbook we write together.
You will be based in our London office four days a week, with a fully expensed on-site gym, showers and towel service, and a rooftop terrace.
About the company

We plant ten trees for every placement we make.

If you can pick up a phone, ask good questions and want to be paid properly for getting better at both, we want to hear from you. Call Lindsay on 07852509003.
