FM Talent Partners is recruiting a Business Development Director for an established services business.

This is a hands-on commercial role focused on winning new clients, developing strategic accounts, and securing complex, multi-site service agreements.

Reporting to the national sales leader, you will develop a growth strategy for your market, build a strong pipeline, and work with business development colleagues to convert opportunities into long-term client relationships.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop account plans and pursue new opportunities across service lines.
  • Build relationships with senior decision makers and procurement teams.
  • Manage complex sales opportunities from discovery through negotiation and agreement.
  • Deliver compelling presentations and demonstrate the commercial value of proposed solutions.
  • Support and develop business development colleagues as the team grows.

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.
