About Us:

KHIPU Networks is an award-winning and highly successful Cyber Security company based in the UK and Africa. We offer outstanding opportunities for candidates of all levels within a dynamic and flexible working environment.

This Market Development Executive Role Is NOT For Everyone…

Let’s be honest…

  • Do you prefer waiting for leads to land in your inbox rather than going out and finding them?
  • Does the thought of picking up the phone fill you with dread?
  • Is LinkedIn just… not really your thing?

If you’re nodding along, this probably isn’t the right role for you—and that’s absolutely fine.

But If You’re Still Reading…

If, on the other hand, you’re the kind of person who can create opportunities, build relationships and open doors with confidence, this could be a brilliant opportunity.

  • Enjoys the buzz of finding and opening new business opportunities
  • Isn’t afraid to start conversations with new prospects, customers and decision-makers
  • Knows how to use LinkedIn, email and phone outreach to create interest and build trust
  • Gets a kick out of helping businesses find the right technology and services to support their goals

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.

Who Are We?

KHIPU Networks is a specialist cyber security and networking business with a strong reputation for delivering trusted technology solutions and services.

We work with organisations across a wide range of sectors, helping them solve complex challenges, protect their environments and make confident decisions about the technology they rely on.

Our team combines technical expertise, commercial focus and a genuine commitment to building long-term customer relationships. We’re ambitious, supportive and always looking for people who want to grow with us.

The Role (AKA Where You Come In)

We’re looking for a Market Development Executive to join KHIPU Networks and help us identify, engage and develop new business opportunities.

This isn’t a “wait for the phone to ring” kind of role.

It’s about:

  • Identifying organisations that could benefit from KHIPU’s cyber security, networking and managed service expertise
  • Opening doors through calls, emails, LinkedIn, referrals, webinars and targeted campaigns
  • Starting informed conversations about technology challenges, security priorities, digital transformation and business resilience
  • Booking qualified meetings for our sales team and helping build a strong, relevant pipeline

You’ll be right at the start of the customer journey—helping businesses move from initial interest to meaningful conversations with KHIPU.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Making outbound calls and starting meaningful conversations with prospective clients
  • Turning cold prospects into warm conversations and qualified business opportunities
  • Driving attendance to webinars, events, briefings and customer education sessions
  • Using CRM tools to track activity, manage pipeline and keep follow-ups on point
  • Following up marketing campaigns, inbound enquiries and targeted outreach activity with pace, accuracy and professionalism

In short: you’ll be creating opportunities, building momentum and helping KHIPU connect with organisations that need our expertise.

What You’ll Need

  • Experience in outbound sales, business development, lead generation or appointment setting
  • Confidence speaking with decision-makers, even when the subject matter is technical or unfamiliar
  • A curious mindset and willingness to learn about cyber security, networking, managed services and customer challenges
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to keep complex topics clear, professional and jargon-free

Most importantly… you need the drive to learn, the confidence to start conversations and the resilience to keep going.

What’s In It For You?

We make sure hard work pays off:

  • Uncapped commission (no limits, no ceiling)
  • 26 days holiday + more with service
  • Private healthcare & pension
  • Loads of team events & incentives
  • Real career progression as KHIPU continues to grow

Final Thought…

This role isn’t for people who want easy, predictable or passive.

It is for someone who wants opportunity, growth and the chance to build a successful career as a Market Development Executive with a specialist technology company.

So if you’re still reading—and thinking “this sounds like me”—then we’d like to hear from you.
