Business Development Representative (HF1341418)

Graduate Business Development Representative Location: Reading, Berkshire (Office-Based, 5 Days Per Week) Salary: £35,000 Basic Salary + Uncapped Commission (£70,000-£80,000+ OTE)

Graduate Opportunity | Full Sales Training | Clear Progression Pathway | Lifetime Commission Looking to kick-start your career after university?

Are you a recent graduate looking for a role that offers structured training, genuine progression opportunities, and the chance to earn exceptional money early in your career?

We're hiring ambitious graduates to join a growing international business as Graduate Business Development Representatives.

This is an opportunity to develop the skills, confidence, and commercial experience needed to build a successful long-term career in sales. You'll receive comprehensive training, ongoing coaching, and the support needed to become a high-performing sales professional.

This role is designed for graduates and early-career professionals. It is not aimed at experienced sales professionals with several years of industry experience.

Instead, we're looking for individuals with strong communication skills, a positive attitude, and a genuine desire to learn, develop, and succeed.

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.
