Build relationships with employers. Turn workforce need into opportunity.
Employers don’t always need another sales pitch. They need someone who will listen, understand what is getting in the way and help them find a practical route forward.
As our Employer Engagement Executive, you’ll:
- Work with businesses across Wigan, Greater Manchester and the wider region.
- Understand their workforce and skills needs.
- Connect them with opportunities across apprenticeships, commercial training, adult learning, and wider workforce development.
You’ll develop new business, strengthen existing employer accounts, and manage opportunities from first contact through to agreed action. Working closely with curriculum, apprenticeship, and marketing colleagues, you’ll ensure employers receive a responsive, joined-up service.
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.
This is a role with clear targets and outcomes, but lasting success will come from credibility, curiosity, and follow-through. You’ll need to be comfortable opening doors, building professional networks, and turning conversations into practical opportunities for employers, learners, and apprentices.
Your background could be in:
- Employer engagement
- Business development
- Account management
- Consultative sales
- A similar relationship-focused role
You’ll be organized, commercially aware, and confident using CRM systems to manage leads and maintain a clear pipeline.
