Milton Keynes | Full-Time | On-Site | Immediate Start
Your First Step Into Business Development
You don't need years of commercial experience to begin building a career in business.
Relay Direct is looking for ambitious individuals who want to learn how customer acquisition, sales, and business growth work in a real-world environment. As a Junior Business Development Executive, you'll work across live B2B, B2C residential, and event campaigns, representing established brands and developing the practical skills needed to progress within a commercial environment.
The Opportunity
Your initial focus will be on learning the fundamentals of customer acquisition and business development.
You'll gain experience in:
- Approaching and engaging potential customers
- Understanding customer needs
- Presenting products and services confidently
- Developing new customer relationships
- Contributing to campaign growth
- Working towards performance objectives
- Understanding how results are tracked and improved
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.
As you become more experienced, you'll gain greater exposure to campaign planning, team development, and commercial decision-making.
Who Is This For?
This opportunity could suit you if you're:
- Starting your career and looking for practical business experience.
- Wanting to develop commercial skills outside of a traditional desk-based graduate scheme.
- Coming from retail, hospitality, or another related industry and ready to turn your people skills into a professional career.
- Changing careers and looking for an environment where performance and potential are recognised.
You don't need previous business development experience. What matters is your ability to communicate, learn quickly, remain motivated, and work towards goals.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What Comes Next?
Strong performance can open opportunities to develop beyond customer acquisition and into areas such as:
- Business Development
- Team Leadership
- Campaign Management
- Operations
Progression is merit-based and reflects your performance, consistency, development, and ability to take on greater responsibility.
You'll receive ongoing training, mentorship, performance incentives, and opportunities to attend business events and travel as you develop.
