- A Client Base and Brand Ready to Lend You Momentum – Market-leading in Defence, Space, Clean Technology and Automotive, with fast growth into Robotics, AI and Healthcare Technology, plus TECHNE Connect — our market-leading podcast — ready for you to leverage for relationships and pipeline from day one.

- Future Ownership – Share options and future ownership for the person who builds this properly.
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.
The Role: What You'll Do
As TECHNE's Contracts Director, you'll build our contract offering from a blank canvas, no legacy structure to unpick, no bad habits to undo, just a starting point, a strategy, and the backing to build it properly.
Key Responsibilities:
- Inherit and grow the current 4K WBV book, with a quick win of 10K WBV available from our existing client base, building towards a 50K WBV long-term destination
- Build and own a 360 contract desk from the ground up, backed by two Co-Founders who are contract billers themselves
- Set the strategy for markets, desks, and how the division grows... with the authority to make the calls yourself
- Lead TECHNE's expansion into new markets, including our long-term move into the US

- A builder who still wants to bill, with the desire for a quick 10K WBV win alongside the medium-term goal of building a market-leading contract team
- An appetite for new markets and the unknown, ready to help lead TECHNE's growth into the US
What's In It For You
- 💰 Compensation: Market-leading
- 🏢 Office: Warrington, Hybrid — open to new locations for the right person, with weekly travel to Warrington likely required in the early phase

Let's Build It, Together
From a 4K starting point to a 50K long-term destination — with two Co-Founders, a market-leading brand, and a client base already in place, this is a division waiting for the right person to lead it. If you're a builder who wants to own TECHNE's contract offering, we'd love to hear from you.
