Business Development Trainee | Chelmsford, Essex (On-site)
Monday–Friday | 9am–6pm | Competitive base pay + commission
Business development is about understanding where growth comes from customers, relationships, commercial opportunities and the decisions that turn them into results.
We are looking for a Business Development Trainee to join our growing sales and marketing company in Chelmsford. This role offers hands-on experience for someone who wants to build their commercial knowledge and understand how customer acquisition, campaign performance and business growth work in practice.
You’ll gain hands-on exposure to live marketing campaigns for nationally recognised brands, developing an understanding of how businesses strengthen their market presence, reach new audiences and create opportunities for growth. You’ll learn how campaign activity, customer insights and market feedback contribute to commercial decisions and help shape the way brands grow.
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.
