Graduate Business Trainee
A practical graduate opportunity combining customer acquisition, commercial development and leadership training.
About Relay Direct
Relay Direct is one of the UK’s fast-growing face-to-face sales and marketing companies, working with prominent brands to create meaningful customer connections. Our Graduate Business Trainee opportunity is designed for an ambitious graduate—or someone with an equivalent learning mindset—who wants broad commercial exposure rather than a purely classroom-based programme.
From our Watford office, you will learn how customer acquisition, campaign performance and people development contribute to business growth. You will begin in a practical customer-facing position across B2B, B2C and event environments, then work through clearly defined development stages as your capability grows.
What you’ll be doing
- Gain experience across sales, customer engagement and campaign operations
- Represent client brands in B2B, B2C and event settings
- Review performance data and learn how campaigns grow
- Participate in structured business and leadership coaching
- Build towards responsibility for people, performance and campaign delivery
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.
What we’re looking for
- A recent graduate or candidate with an equivalent growth mindset
- Commercial curiosity and confidence communicating with different audiences
- Ambition, accountability and a willingness to take initiative
- Open to learning through practical, customer-facing experience
Training and development
- Practical experience in sales, marketing, customer behaviour and campaign delivery
- Workshops covering performance analysis, communication and commercial decision-making
- One-to-one coaching with clear development goals
- Potential progression towards coaching, campaign coordination and team leadership
What success looks like
The strongest trainees combine curiosity with action. We are looking for someone who can absorb information, apply feedback, communicate professionally and take responsibility for results. A degree is welcome, but attitude, work ethic and demonstrated progress are central to advancement.
