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.
We love games. We play games. And together, we grow games that last.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Yodo1 is looking for a highly credible Head of Business Development to scale our adtech business.
This is a player-coach role, not a management-only position. You will personally open doors, lead the most important negotiations, close strategic customers, and build a repeatable sales system that helps the wider BD team perform at a much higher level.
You should already know the market, understand how mobile studios make monetization decisions, and have trusted relationships with founders, executives, publishing leaders, and monetization teams.
WHAT WE EXPECT
You will:
- Personally originate and close strategic accounts through your own network, targeted outbound, industry relationships, and executive-level selling.
- Build a qualified enterprise pipeline focused on high-value mobile game and app studios that fit our product and commercial model.
- Own the full sales process, from account strategy and discovery through commercial negotiation, A/B testing, contracting, and handoff.
- Create a repeatable sales methodology covering ICP, qualification, discovery, value proposition, objection handling, deal strategy, and closing.
- Turn the existing BD team into stronger closers through weekly coaching, call reviews, roleplay, pipeline inspection, and direct deal support.
- Set a high performance bar for pipeline quality, sales activity, conversion, deal size, speed, and forecast accuracy.
- Work closely with Product and Customer teams to bring customer insight into product decisions and convert performance evidence into stronger sales narratives.
- Represent Yodo1 externally at major industry events, executive meetings, and strategic partner discussions.
- Build the future commercial organization, including hiring, roles, territories, compensation, and performance management as the business scales.
