Sales Development Team Leader

We've partnered with an AI-native HR platform backed by leading investors, and we're looking for a Sales Development Team Leader to own and elevate their outbound function. You'll be a player-coach leading a team of 4 SDRs — setting the standard for cold calling excellence and building the playbook from the ground up.

This is a high-impact role at a 50-person company, reporting directly to senior leadership, with real influence over how they grow.

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.
