🚀 Sales Executive – Events & Festivals Industry 🎪

Are you a natural deal-maker who thrives in a fast-paced, high-energy environment? Do you love the buzz of live events and the challenge of closing big opportunities? If so, we want to hear from you. We’re looking for a driven and ambitious Sales Executive to join our growing team, working across an exciting portfolio of events, festivals, and live experiences.

🎯 The Role

You’ll be at the forefront of our commercial success, responsible for generating revenue across:

  • Sponsorship packages (brands & partners)
  • Advertising opportunities (digital, print & on-site)
  • Delegate & ticket sales (B2B and B2C events)

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.
