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.
We’re building out our Go-to-Market engine, hiring across Sales, Business Development, and Go-to-market engineering. We’re about to embark on a massive phase of growth, so this is a huge opportunity for a hungry salesperson with SAAS experience looking to take the next few steps of their career and build something big.
Our Culture
Our culture is defined by six key principles.
- High Ownership and Accountability: Turn great ideas into reality and own the outcome. No red tape here, and plenty of tokens.
- Ambition and High Achievement: An exceptionally high bar, held with humility.
- Openness: A flat structure where the best ideas win.
- Transparency: Everyone sees the goals, the plan and the numbers.
- Teamwork: One Orchestra. Autonomous, never independent.
- Trust: Responsibility, flexibility and tools in exchange for high standards.
Role Mission
As part of our next phase of growth, we’re scaling the sales team and hiring account executives across enterprise and mid-market. You’ll prove out your chops by owning Orchestra’s full cycle sales motion initially, with support from inbound and outbound functions also being scaled.
You’ll lead discovery, demos, PoCs, negotiation and close, while helping refine our ICP, sharpen our outbound strategy and build a repeatable sales engine for your territory. You’ll work closely with the founders, data and customer teams at a company early enough for your ideas to shape how we sell, and ambitious enough for your results to shape how fast we grow.
What You'll Accomplish
- Full-Cycle Sales: Managing the entire sales process from outbound prospecting through qualification, demos, evaluations, and negotiation.
- Pipeline Generation: Building your own pipeline through outbound outreach, events, and partner channels.
- Product Evangelism: Clearly articulating the value of Orchestra, telling our story, and generating excitement with technical and business stakeholders.
- Enterprise Deal Execution: Leading complex sales cycles with enterprise and mid-market accounts.
- Event Motion: Attending and representing Orchestra at online and in-person events around the world, generating pipeline and nurturing relationships.
- Partner Motion: Working with partners across the likes of Snowflake/Databricks ecosystem to identify opportunities and co-sell.
- Foundation for Scale: Laying the groundwork for a repeatable, scalable AE function as we grow.
