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.
This is a proper zero-to-one opportunity. There isn't an SDR team feeding you meetings or an established sales machine to slot into. You'll be expected to create opportunities yourself, learn quickly and help determine what the company's GTM function ultimately looks like.
Who We're Looking For
Ideally:
- 1-5 years' GTM / sales experience
- AE, Founding AE, full-stack BDR or similar background
- Early-stage/high-growth technology startup experience
- Exposure to complex enterprise sales
- Proven outbound ability
- Comfortable owning the complete sales cycle
- Strong communicator with high EQ
- Commercially ambitious and highly proactive
- AI-native and comfortable adopting new technology quickly
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don't need experience within the company's end market. They're much more interested in finding someone who understands what it takes to build pipeline and sell within an early-stage technology company.
Important
This is 5 days per week onsite in London and suits someone actively looking for the intensity and upside of an early-stage startup rather than a traditional 9-5 sales environment.
For the right person, there's significant earning potential, meaningful equity and the opportunity to become one of the earliest commercial employees in a well-funded AI company with genuine enterprise traction.
