Contract Duration: 6-month contract inside IR35 (reviewed against KPIs every 6 months for renewal with the potential for a 10% rate uplift)

Salary / Day Rate: Equivalent to £40,000 - £45,000 per year


We are seeking a qualified Sales Development Representative (SDR) to work with our clients. The SDR will be responsible for identifying potential customers who could benefit from our clients’ products and services. While we primarily work with SAAS and Tech companies, our scope is expanding.

As a front-line liaison with prospects, the ideal SDR must demonstrate:

  • A strong grasp of the sales process
  • Exceptional research and prospecting skills
  • An ability to initiate relationships and efficiently set up successful closure meetings
  • Keen attention to detail and enthusiasm for continuous improvement

Candidates must view each customer interaction as an opportunity to reflect on a company’s top-line revenue growth, customer acquisition, and profitability.


Objectives of this Role

  • Represent clients’ products and services, leveraging comprehensive knowledge and consumer research to illustrate how their solutions address customer pain points
  • Generate leads while nurturing prospect relationships to uncover fresh sales opportunities
  • Manage enroll interested prospects through the sales lifecycle and maintain a robust pipeline
  • Develop optimal lead-generation tactics and refine the company’s playbook

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.
