Newcastle City Centre | Full Time, Permanent, On Site | £22,000–£25,000 Starting OTE
You leave university with knowledge, ideas and ambition. What nobody hands you is the next step.
Some graduates already know they want a career in business but have no idea where to start. Others are still working it out, and want something real rather than theoretical. This role was built for both.
We are not asking you to have your future mapped out. We are offering a starting point inside a growing business where you can test yourself, build commercial awareness and see how companies actually scale — from the inside, not from the sidelines.
That said, this is not a vague opportunity. Bespoke is in an active growth phase with serious investment behind our expansion and our teams. Growth creates room for people ready to contribute early, learn fast and own their progression.
What the role involves
You will join our business development function, working across the areas that directly move performance. The role is built to give you exposure — and expectation. You will be trusted to contribute, not to assist.
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.

- People who already know they want business development, strategy or growth
- Anyone motivated, adaptable and genuinely open to learning at pace

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The point is to give you a foundation you can build a career on — whether that leads into leadership, a specialism, or eventually something of your own.
Growth and progression
As the business expands, responsibility opens up with it. Progression is not automatic, but it is genuinely available to people who show consistency, initiative and results. That might mean taking on client management, supporting expansion into new markets, or helping develop the team behind you.
Salary
£22,000–£25,000 starting on-target earnings, made up of a basic salary plus performance-related earnings. The full breakdown is discussed at interview.
