About us
We're an independent creative studio working across brand experience, design and immersive projects for international brands.
We're now looking for someone to lead new business. Not to build a sales department, but to help us become part of the conversations that matter—with the right brands, agencies and partners. This is a senior role for someone who already has credibility in the industry and knows how new business actually happens in creative businesses.
The role
You'll own our new business efforts. That means opening doors, building relationships, creating a healthy pipeline and putting the studio in front of the right clients. You'll lead the commercial process until the final negotiation stage, where you'll work alongside the founder and creative leadership to close opportunities.
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 do
- Build relationships with brands, agencies and strategic partners.
- Secure meetings with prospective clients.
- Develop and manage the studio's new business pipeline.
- Build relationships with agency rosters and procurement teams.
- Identify the right pitches, RFPs and partnership opportunities.
- Prepare the studio for key meetings and industry events.
- Work closely with the founder on commercial strategy and growth.
