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.
You will receive tailored B2B sales training and development from Mirable Solutions, delivered by an award-winning sales trainer with more than 20 years’ B2B sales and development experience. The programme is designed to give you the skills needed to ramp up successfully, covering areas including:
- Prospecting and opening new business conversations
- Sales mindset, resilience, and confidence
- Questioning and discovery
- Running effective commercial conversations
- Communicating technical value
- Pipeline management and follow-up
- Objection handling and closing
- Account development
What is the role of a Graduate Sales Executive?
You’ll join a specialist safety and technical consultancy division supporting organisations operating in complex, highly regulated, and potentially high-risk environments.
The team works with customers across industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, energy, and engineering, helping them understand and manage risks associated with their processes, materials, and operations.
This is a genuine end-to-end (full cycle) B2B sales role. You will be expected to create conversations, build relationships, uncover opportunities, and progressively take ownership of your own sales pipeline.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Proactively contacting potential customers
- Following up inbound and marketing-generated opportunities
- Speaking with technical and commercial stakeholders
- Re-engaging dormant and previous customers
- Developing new opportunities within target accounts
- Managing appropriate opportunities from first conversation through to close
- Working with senior colleagues on larger or more complex opportunities
- Maintaining disciplined follow-up and accurate CRM activity

What does a Graduate Sales Executive look like?
You will have a qualification in:
- Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or another relevant scientific, engineering, or technical discipline.
We are looking for someone who combines technical credibility with a strong commercial personality. You are likely to be someone who:
- Has genuine drive and determination
- Is naturally outgoing and enjoys speaking with new people
- Is ambitious and motivated by targets and achievement
- Is confident starting conversations
- Has strong commercial instincts
- Builds rapport quickly
- Is resilient when faced with rejection or setbacks
- Takes ownership of results
- Is coachable and wants to develop quickly
This role will not suit someone looking to remain primarily behind the scenes in a technical capacity. Attitude, personality, commercial potential, and willingness to learn matter the most.
The role is predominantly home-based, although occasional UK travel to offices, customers, and team meetings will be required.
Interested?
If you have the technical background but also know you are driven, confident, commercially curious, and good with people, this could be a strong opportunity to build a long-term, rewarding career in B2B sales.
