Freelance Business Development & Lead Generation Partner
Robotics & Food Automation | UK | Remote / Flexible | Commission-Based
Modus Technologies is looking for experienced, well-connected freelance business development professionals to help introduce our robotic automation solutions to companies across the UK food, packaging, logistics and cold-chain sectors.
We design and manufacture advanced robotic systems for handling products that have traditionally been difficult to automate, including soft fruit, vegetables, bakery products, cheese and eggs.
Our flagship FP5 system combines robotic handling, machine vision, intelligent product recognition and gentle gripping technology in a complete automation platform designed specifically for demanding food-production environments. www.modustechnologies.co.uk/assets/downloads/FP5_Technical_Datasheet.pdf
The Opportunity
This is a self-employed, non-exclusive business development and lead-generation role.
We are not looking for someone to manage complex technical sales, produce quotations or negotiate contracts.
Your role is simple:
- Identify suitable businesses that could benefit from automation
- Connect Modus with relevant decision-makers
- Make introductions and generate genuine sales opportunities
- Help open conversations with prospective customers
- Provide prospects with Modus-approved information and marketing material
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.
Once an introduction has been made, the Modus engineering and commercial team will handle demonstrations, technical discussions, system specification, quotations, negotiations and closing the project.
Commission
Successful introductions are rewarded with:
1% commission on the net value of qualifying sales generated from your introduction.
For example:
- £100,000 system sale = £1,000 commission
- £250,000 project = £2,500 commission
- £500,000 project = £5,000 commission
Commission is paid on qualifying customer revenue received by Modus Technologies, subject to the terms of our introducer agreement.
12-Month Lead Protection
Any genuine new customer introduced to Modus Technologies will be protected to that introducer for 12 months from the date of introduction.
If the customer places an order during that period, the introducer will receive the agreed 1% commission.
Example: A customer introduced on 1 September 2026 who purchases a £100,000 system within the following 12 months would generate a £1,000 commission.
There are no fixed working hours, no sales territory restrictions and no requirement for exclusivity.

About Modus Technologies
Modus Technologies brings together experienced engineers and software specialists to develop practical robotic automation systems for modern manufacturing.
Our focus is particularly on applications where conventional automation struggles with delicate, variable or irregular products.
Our FP5 robotic platform combines advanced vision, intelligent product recognition, gentle gripping technology, integrated safety systems and food-industry-focused construction into one complete automation solution.
Important
This is an independent self-employed introducer / lead-generation arrangement, not an employed sales position.
Introducers do not have authority to negotiate contracts, agree pricing, offer discounts, make warranties or otherwise bind Modus Technologies Ltd.
All commercial negotiations, quotations and contracts are handled directly by Modus Technologies.
If you already work within the food, manufacturing, logistics or automation industries and regularly come across businesses looking to automate, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
