Head of SDR — Build and Lead a High-Performing Recruitment Business Unit
This is an opportunity to take ownership of Venatrix’s SDR recruitment division: a market-leading brand with 10 years in the space, a strong inbound sales funnel, and a proven record of developing recruiters into exceptional business leaders.
You’ll join at a pivotal point. Initially, you’ll bill and lead delivery team, while shaping the foundations for a much larger business unit. The role is designed to progress into second-line leadership and, ultimately, Managing Director responsibility as the team and customer base grow.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
