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.
Culture
We are well-funded but the hardest period of a start-up is always the first couple of years, when the team is small, and you are heavily relied on personally. But this also exposes you to the most interesting period of a company’s lifecycle and also the period where you can learn the most and earn the most material rewards. You won’t be expected to work evenings and weekends, but you will be expected to work hard when on the job. Some days this includes networking events in the evening.
About the role
We’re hiring Commercial Associates to join Novabook as we scale as an AI-native company on an ambitious unicorn journey. We're growing our sales team from two Commercial Associates to five in the coming 12 months. You will be among the first two to join working day-to-day with our COO. We already have a proven sales process having closed several million in ARR and supporting hundreds of businesses. The role will be a combination of prospecting and relationship-building to pipeline management and customer conversations. You will own the deal cycle from beginning to end. This is a fast-paced, high-ownership environment designed for someone who's hungry to have more responsibility, steep learning, and the chance to grow alongside the company.

What we’re looking for in you
- Ability to learn quickly: Our sales team aren't accountants, but you will have to pick up the fundamentals. We'll help with this via internal learning tools, recordings, and training.

- Actually wants to do sales: You'll speak to many different founders & business owners each day. Attend networking events & dinners. Meeting and helping new people should energize you.

- An introductory Form
- A time-bound task
