Entry Level Business Development Representative (BDR)
Leeds | £28,000-£30,000 Base Salary + £16,000-£25,000 OTE
Are you ambitious, competitive, and looking for a career where your hard work directly impacts your progression and earnings? Have you worked towards targets before and enjoyed the challenge of achieving goals? Want to break into SaaS sales with an award-winning AI business that's growing rapidly and investing heavily in its future?
We're working with a high-growth technology company based in Leeds that is transforming how businesses use AI to drive commercial success. Their platform helps clients achieve an average 8:1 return on investment, they've recently received industry recognition for their innovative use of AI, and generated over £3.5 million in revenue last year alone.
Backed by private equity and with ambitious growth plans for the coming years, they're looking to invest in the next generation of sales talent.
The Role
As a Business Development Representative, you'll sit at the front end of the sales process, responsible for identifying and engaging potential clients, building relationships with decision-makers, and generating new business opportunities.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in SaaS sales. You'll receive hands-on training, work closely with experienced commercial leaders, and gain exposure to every stage of the sales cycle.
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.
Your Responsibilities Will Include:
- Prospecting and identifying new business opportunities
- Reaching out to potential customers via phone, email, and LinkedIn
- Building relationships with key decision-makers
- Qualifying opportunities and booking meetings
- Managing and developing your own sales pipeline
- Learning how to navigate complex B2B sales environments
Whilst this role focuses on new business generation, there is a clear progression path in place. The long-term goal is to develop you into a closing salesperson, with opportunities to take ownership of deals as you progress through the business.
Who We're Looking For
Previous SaaS sales experience isn't essential. What is important is that you've demonstrated success in an environment where you've worked towards targets, KPIs, goals, or performance metrics.
You may currently be:
- Working in recruitment and looking for a more sales-focused career
- Coming from retail, hospitality, estate agency, or customer service
- A graduate with strong extracurricular achievements or leadership experience
- Working in another target-driven role and eager to move into technology sales

What's On Offer?
