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.
We are looking for a Director of Event Sales who already has good knowledge of the London events market and a strong network.
You could currently be working as a Director of Event Sales, Senior Event Sales Manager, Head of Event Sales or Senior Business Development Manager within a luxury hotel, premium events venue or similar environment.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Most importantly, you will be proactive and commercially driven, with a genuine track record of going out and winning new business rather than purely managing incoming enquiries.
