Business Development Manager | Digital Media & Marketing | London - £50,000

I’m currently working on an exciting opportunity with a global digital media and marketing agency that is growing its UK and European New Business function.

This is a great opportunity for someone with 3–5 years’ experience who enjoys New Business, pitches, and client development, but doesn’t want a traditional, target-heavy sales role.

The Role

Working closely with the MD and senior leadership team, you’ll play a key role in supporting new client acquisition across the UK and Europe.

The role will involve:

  • Managing and developing the UK and European sales pipeline
  • Supporting senior stakeholders across new business opportunities
  • Researching prospective clients and coordinating outreach
  • Joining prospect meetings and managing follow-ups
  • Identifying and managing RFI and RFP opportunities
  • Coordinating pitch processes from start to finish
  • Supporting pitch decks, proposals, and client-facing materials
  • Working with internal teams to ensure pitches are commercially viable and delivered on time
  • Creating tailored sales collateral and working with Marketing on external content
  • Building relationships with intermediaries and media consultants

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.
