Fintech | Payments | London
Hybrid – 4 days per week in office
We’re partnering with a high-growth fintech in the payments space. Their platform powers mission-critical payment operations for thousands of organisations - from fast-scaling tech companies to major enterprises - and they’re expanding their London sales team with both entry-level and experienced SDRs.
If you’re high-energy, commercially curious, and hungry to build a career in fintech sales, this is one of the strongest pathways in the market.
The Role
This is a high-activity, high-impact SDR role. You’ll be responsible for driving top-of-funnel pipeline through outbound prospecting, strategic research, and senior-level engagement.
You’ll learn how to navigate complex organisations, understand their priorities, map stakeholders, and craft compelling narratives that open doors for the sales team.
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.
