Entry-Level Business Manager

Edinburgh | Full-Time | On-Site | Immediate Start

Build Experience. Develop Leadership. Grow Into Management.

Graduated recently and finding the job market harder than expected?

Maybe you’ve sent out application after application without hearing back. Or perhaps you’re already working but feel stuck somewhere with limited development, little mentoring and no clear route to progress.

At Caledonia Group, we’re building something different.

We’re a growing sales and marketing agency based in Edinburgh, delivering face-to-face customer acquisition campaigns for established brands. In a world increasingly dominated by digital communication and automation, our clients are seeing growing demand for something technology can’t replace: genuine human connection.

We’re expanding our client portfolio across Scotland, the wider UK and, ultimately, internationally. That means we’re looking for ambitious people we can develop from the ground up and progress into leadership.

What You’ll Actually Learn

This isn’t a course where you sit in a classroom and wait for a certificate.

You’ll be working on live campaigns from the beginning, developing practical experience across:

  • Face-to-face sales and customer acquisition
  • Marketing and campaign management
  • Customer communication and conversion
  • Team development and leadership
  • Recruitment and onboarding
  • Performance management
  • Client and campaign operations
  • Business development and growth

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.

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.

As you develop, you’ll move from understanding the front-line operation to taking responsibility for the people, performance and decisions behind it.

More importantly, you’ll develop the mindset required to operate at management level — learning to take ownership, understand performance, solve problems and make decisions rather than waiting to be told what to do.

Your Progression

Progression is based on performance, capability and leadership, rather than simply time served.

Trainee Business Manager

  • Learn the fundamentals of sales, customer acquisition, campaign management and leadership.

Junior Manager

  • Begin taking responsibility for recruitment, onboarding, team development, performance tracking and campaign operations.

Senior Manager

  • Lead a team, take greater responsibility for campaign performance, develop new talent and contribute to business growth.

For the right people, there are further opportunities to take on greater responsibility as the business continues to expand.

What We Offer

  • Competitive starting package
  • Performance-based bonuses and incentives
  • One-to-one coaching and mentoring
  • Hands-on management training
  • Clear progression structure
  • Leadership development opportunities
  • Regular team events and networking
  • Opportunities to travel for top performers
  • The chance to grow with a business expanding across Scotland, the UK and internationally

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for people who are:

  • Ambitious and career-driven
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
  • Confident communicating with different people
  • Competitive and motivated by performance
  • Willing to learn and take feedback
  • Naturally proactive and solution-focused
  • Interested in developing leadership and business skills

You don’t need previous sales or management experience. Full training is provided.

A background in leadership, competitive sport, hospitality, customer service, entrepreneurship or other performance-driven environments can translate well — but attitude, work ethic and willingness to develop matter most.

This isn’t a role where you simply turn up, do the minimum and switch off at 5pm.

It’s an opportunity to build the skills, experience and leadership ability to create a long-term career in business.

Immediate start available, with notice periods of up to four weeks considered for the right candidate.

Apply now — we’re currently interviewing for our Edinburgh team.
