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 You'll Be Doing
As a Sales Associate, you'll be responsible for generating opportunities that fuel the wider sales team.
You'll identify target companies, engage senior decision-makers and secure high-quality meetings that turn into revenue.
Your days will include:
- Researching and identifying target pharmaceutical, healthcare and life sciences organisations
- Speaking with senior stakeholders across multiple channels including phone, email and LinkedIn
- Building relationships and uncovering business challenges
- Booking qualified meetings for the sales team
- Working closely with Account Executives on target accounts and campaign strategy
- Managing activity accurately within the CRM
- Learning the commercial landscape of different therapy areas and healthcare markets
- Contributing ideas, testing new messaging and continually improving your approach

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
No two days are the same. One day you might be discussing a major industry congress with a global pharmaceutical company; the next, helping generate opportunities with a fast-growing biotech business.

- Biomedical Science
- Pharmacology
- Life Sciences
- Healthcare
- Business
- Marketing
- Psychology
- Sports Science
Or any subject where you've demonstrated ambition and a strong work ethic.
Previous sales experience is a bonus, but absolutely not essential.

You'll receive structured training, ongoing coaching, real responsibility from day one, and the opportunity to build a lucrative career in sales within the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector.
If you're ambitious, coachable, commercially minded and ready to start building your future, we'd love to hear from you.
