Head of Business Development
About Us
We support independent record labels, distributors, publishers, and recording artists with royalty processing, financial, and administrative services.
Our mission is simple: make our clients’ lives easier by taking the complexity out of royalties and solving problems before they become headaches.
We're a friendly, collaborative team who value curiosity, innovation and supporting one another.
We've built a strong reputation and a loyal client base over the last decade and we’re now making our first dedicated business development hire to help fuel our next chapter.
The Role
We're looking for a Head of Business Development to join our management team and help shape the next stage of our growth. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll play a key role in shaping our commercial strategy.
This is a hands-on role. You'll build and manage our prospect pipeline, develop relationships across the industry, lead outreach, and own the sales process from initial contact through to signed agreement and successful onboarding. You’ll also be the face of the company at conferences and industry events both in the UK and abroad.
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.
While you'll own the commercial process, success is very much a team effort. You'll work closely with the CEO and department heads throughout the sales journey to ensure prospective clients receive the right information, pricing and support.
Who You Are
- You've got a strong track record of winning new business and building long-term client relationships
- You're comfortable creating opportunities rather than waiting for them to appear
- You're organised, commercially minded, and able to keep multiple opportunities moving at once
- You enjoy working collaboratively and recognise that winning new business is a team effort.
- You've ideally worked in music, royalties, accountancy or a related industry, though we're open to exceptional candidates from other sectors
- You're based in the UK and have the right to work here, with travel required for conferences and industry events in the UK and internationally
