The opportunity
This role sits right at the front end of business growth. It’s a true SDR position. Not closing. Not hard selling. Not a call-centre environment.
Your focus is simple:
- Create a quality pipeline by starting smart, relevant conversations with UK businesses.
If you enjoy research, commercial conversations, and being measured on outcomes (not noise or dial counts), this is a strong next step.
What the role is really about
You’ll be responsible for identifying and engaging organisations that could benefit from a service-led, cost-focused B2B solution.
That means:
- Speaking with decision-makers
- Understanding how businesses currently operate and buy services
- Identifying genuine opportunities (not forcing them)
- Handing over well-qualified meetings to 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.
