New Business Development Director - Market Research
Global Market Research Agency
Fully Remote (UK Based)
£80-100,000 + commission
Do you have expertise in selling full-service market research? Great opportunity for a commercially driven, senior business development professional to join the growing UK team of a fast-moving, entrepreneurial global market research agency.
We’re looking for a seller who thrives on building new relationships, uncovering opportunities, and winning new business. With a strong track record of selling full-service market research solutions, you’ll be confident managing the full sales cycle, from identifying and engaging prospects through to pitching, negotiation, and closing.
You’ll bring energy, curiosity, and commercial flair, with the ability to identify client challenges and shape compelling proposals that demonstrate real value. Working across a broad client base spanning FMCG, financial services, automotive, media, and tech, you’ll partner with a talented global research and operations team who deliver creative, agile, and robust insights programmes.
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.
