Looking to get into management but don't have the experience yet?

No previous management or sales experience is required. Full training is provided.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Speaking with customers face-to-face at events, retail locations, and other venues
- Representing our clients and explaining their products and services

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.
As you gain experience, you'll have the opportunity to become more involved in team leadership, training, and day-to-day business operations.
Who are we looking for?
You don't need a degree or previous management experience.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Confident speaking to different people
- Reliable and comfortable working as part of a team
- Motivated by targets and personal development
- Open to feedback and willing to learn
- Organised and able to take responsibility
- Interested in developing towards a leadership role
Previous experience in sales, retail, hospitality, customer service, or recruitment is welcome, but it's not essential.
What do you get?
- Full training from day one
- Weekly pay
- Uncapped commission and performance incentives
- Regular coaching and development
- Hands-on experience in sales and team leadership
- Clear progression opportunities
- Team events, incentives, and social activities
- The opportunity to take on more responsibility as you develop

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Where could this role lead?
The aim is to develop people internally rather than expecting you to already have management experience.
As you develop, progression can include areas such as:
- Sales Associate → Team Leader → Trainer → Account Management
Progression is based on performance, development, and taking on additional responsibility.
Interested?
If you're looking for your first step towards a career in sales, business development, and management, we'd like to hear from you.
Apply with your CV and a member of the Playbook Direct team will be in touch.
