Interim Business Development Manager / Account Executive – Sports
I’m looking to speak with an experienced sales closer with a strong track record selling into the sports industry for an interim assignment with a growing technology business.
This isn’t primarily a lead-generation role. The business already has strong market traction, active opportunities, and access to a significant number of prospective customers. They now need someone who knows how to take conversations through the sales process and close deals.
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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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’re particularly interested in people who have sold into:
- Professional sports clubs
- Leagues, governing bodies or associations
- Sports organisations and related commercial partners
You’ll need to understand how buying decisions are made within sport, be comfortable engaging senior stakeholders and, most importantly, have a demonstrable record of converting opportunities into signed contracts and revenue.
