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.
You'll have the freedom to build dealer plans that actually drive results, work closely with senior leadership on market development and play a central role in balancing demand, profitability and production. If you enjoy combining strategic thinking with hands-on commercial delivery, this role offers plenty of both.
About You
The position sits at the centre of the business. From dealer development and incentive planning through to forecasting, production alignment and customer insight, you'll be making decisions that have a visible impact on performance.
What You'll Need to Bring
- Proven leadership experience within an international dealer, distributor or manufacturer-led sales environment.
- A track record of delivering profitable growth across multiple markets and varying levels of market maturity.
- Strong commercial and analytical capability, with experience in forecasting, incentive planning and performance management.
- The credibility to influence senior stakeholders, develop teams and represent a brand at the highest level.
