Energy Sales Closer
£55,000+ | Uncapped Commission (£350,000 Average Earnings)
Gateshead | Full-time | Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm
If you’re interested in this role, you already know what you're looking for.
You expect a platform where your closing ability directly determines your income. No commission ceiling! You want a reliable pipeline built by strong Lead Generators, a market that triggers genuine urgency, and a business that treats its top performers like the commercial assets they are.
The commercial reality
- You'll be assigned one or more Lead Generators who will prospect and qualify opportunities for your pipeline
- Your focus will be deal management, pricing discussions, supplier tender coordination, objection handling, and contract close
- Your sales cycle will range from same-day closes to 6-month enterprise negotiations, depending on the account
- You'll lead customer relationships through procurement cycles, contract renewals, referrals, and market volatility
- Commission is uncapped. On average, our Closers earned £350,000 last year!
What you'll actually be doing
- Closing energy procurement contracts across gas and power for commercial and industrial clients
- Leading pricing and tender conversations with confidence and commercial authority
- Managing and developing your Lead Gen team — their output directly affects your earnings
- Building long-term customer relationships that generate renewal and referral opportunities year on year
- Working with one of the best trading and procurement desks in our sector on contract structuring and supplier negotiations
- Operating to a high professional standard — preparation, follow-through, and attention to detail
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.
