About The Role
As a Sales Development Representative, you will not just book meetings. You will act as a mini account strategist: spotting opportunities, building relationships, and creating commercial momentum across events, supplier ecosystems, dormant accounts and industry campaigns, before handing qualified opportunities to an Account Executive.
This is a grad friendly entry point. No previous sales experience is required, we care far more about how you think than what is on your CV so far.
This is also where our next generation of Account Executives and commercial leaders comes from. Strong performance in this seat leads somewhere, on a clear and genuinely fast timeline.
Key Responsibilities
Account and Market Strategy
- Research target accounts and markets, understand how organisations and supply chains fit together, and identify the prospects and stakeholders worth engaging.
Multi-Channel Engagement
- Run outreach across phone, email and LinkedIn, personalised to the account. Use AI tools to work faster and smarter, not to replace your own judgement.
Campaign and Motion Execution
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.
- Work across event follow-up, supplier ecosystem plays, dormant account reactivation, whitepaper follow-up and industry campaigns.
Relationship Building
- Build credibility with senior stakeholders, and work closely with Marketing, Account Executives, Customer Success and RevOps.
Pipeline Discipline
- Keep the CRM accurate, track your own performance, and use what you learn to keep improving.
Required

- Comfortable using AI tools as part of how you work
