Blend is a global leadership community bringing together C-suite and senior executives from the world’s largest organizations. We create high-trust environments where leaders connect, share openly, and grow through diverse perspectives.
As we scale our Partnerships team, we’re looking for 4 x ambitious individuals who want to build a career in event sales and commercial partnerships.
The Opportunity
This is not just an SDR role - it’s a launchpad.
You’ll start by owning outbound activity, building pipeline, and setting up high-value meetings with senior decision-makers using digital channels and the phone. But this role is designed to evolve. With training, mentorship, and exposure, you’ll develop into a full Account Executive, capable of owning deals and building long-term client relationships.
If you’re hungry, curious, and want to learn how real sales works at a high level - this is for you.
What You’ll Be Doing (Day 1)
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.

- Identify and engage senior decision-makers
- Qualify opportunities and book meetings for the Partnerships team CRO
- Build and manage a consistent pipeline of prospects
- Work closely with senior sales leaders to refine messaging and targeting
- Learn how enterprise-level event and partnership sales works
What You’ll Grow Into (6–12 months)
- Running your own discovery calls
- Managing partnership conversations end-to-end
- Closing deals and owning revenue targets
- Building long-term client relationships
- Contributing to strategy on go-to-market and partnerships
What We’re Looking For
- Ambition — you want a career in sales, not just a job
- Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders
- Strong work ethic and resilience (you’ll hear “no” - a lot)
- Curiosity — you ask questions and want to understand how things work
- Coachability — you’re open to feedback and hungry to improve
- Bonus: experience in sales, events, or outreach (but not essential)
