Position Overview
We're hiring a Business Development Representative to join our growing UK sales team. This is a high-activity, outbound-first role - your job is to generate the pipeline that fuels our Client Business Executives (CBEs). You'll be on the phone, in inboxes, and on LinkedIn every day, prospecting into target accounts, sparking interest in Thrive's technology and security services, and booking qualified meetings for our sales team to close.
This role is ideal for someone looking to break into technology or cybersecurity sales, learn the fundamentals of B2B selling, and build a foundation for a long-term career in the industry. We're less interested in a polished CV and more interested in hunger, resilience, and a genuine drive to succeed.
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.

- Collaborate closely with CBEs and marketing to refine messaging and targeting
- Continuously look for ways to improve your own outreach, scripts, and objection handling

- Strong communication skills - confident, clear, and personable on the phone and in writing
