Graduate Management Trainee | Newcastle
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
We are looking for ambitious, disciplined and career-focused graduates to join our growing team in Newcastle as a Graduate Management Trainee.
This is not a graduate job for someone looking to simply gain experience and see where things go. We are looking for individuals who want to be challenged, develop commercially valuable skills and work towards a genuine management position.
The successful candidate will enter a structured development programme covering sales, marketing, business development, team leadership and business operations.
You will be expected to learn quickly, take responsibility and consistently perform to a high standard.
The Role
As a Graduate Management Trainee, you will initially work closely with our senior team to develop a strong understanding of the commercial side of the business. Your responsibilities will develop as you progress and include:
- Representing clients and managing customer acquisition campaigns
- Developing strong communication, negotiation and presentation skills
- Learning and executing effective sales and marketing strategies
- Working towards individual and team performance targets
- Tracking and analysing key performance indicators
- Supporting the training and development of new team members
- Developing leadership and coaching skills
- Taking responsibility for team performance and results
- Learning the fundamentals of recruitment and talent development
- Building and maintaining professional client relationships
- Assisting with the planning and execution of marketing campaigns
- Progressively taking on greater responsibility across business operations
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.
The objective is to develop you from a high-performing individual contributor into a confident and capable business leader.
What We Expect
This position is demanding and requires a strong work ethic. We are looking for graduates who:
- Are highly motivated and genuinely ambitious
- Are comfortable working towards challenging targets
- Have strong verbal communication skills
- Are confident speaking with customers and business professionals
- Can take feedback without becoming defensive
- Are willing to step outside their comfort zone
- Demonstrate discipline and consistency
- Take personal responsibility for their performance
- Can work effectively within a team
- Are competitive but professional
- Have strong time-management and organisational skills
- Are willing to learn rather than expecting immediate responsibility
- Want progression based on performance, development and results
A degree alone will not make you successful in this role. We are far more interested in your attitude, work ethic, communication skills and willingness to develop than the subject you studied.
Progression
We operate a performance-driven development structure. We do not promote based purely on time served. Advancement is based on your ability to demonstrate leadership, consistently perform, develop others and take responsibility.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What We Offer
- Structured training and ongoing development
- Direct mentorship from experienced leaders
- Practical experience across sales, marketing and business development
- Leadership and management development
- A clear progression structure
- A competitive, performance-based environment
- The opportunity to build commercially valuable skills
- A team environment focused on continuous improvement
Who This Is For
This role is particularly suited to graduates who are considering careers in:
- Business Management
- Sales
- Marketing
- Business Development
- Entrepreneurship
- Leadership
If you are looking for a comfortable graduate position with minimal responsibility, this probably isn't the role for you. If you're looking for a challenging environment where your performance directly influences your development and progression, we'd like to hear from you.
