B2B Sales Executive – Private Equity Executive Search
High-value sales | £87k average fee | Speak with CEOs and investors | Build Raw Selection to £10M
Base salary: depending on experience
OTE: Uncapped and performance-led
Raw Selection is an executive search firm partnering with Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies to secure CEO, CFO, COO and other senior executive talent across the US.
We are entering our next phase of growth, with our first major milestone being £10M revenue.
To get there, we want to hire proven B2B salespeople who already understand prospecting, targets, rejection and winning business — and train them to apply those skills in a much higher-value market.
Why move into executive search?
- Sell something worth more
- Our average search fee is £87,000. One successful assignment can represent a significant piece of revenue, our largest is £220,403.
- Speak to senior decision-makers
- You will build relationships with CEOs, CFOs, Private Equity investors and senior business leaders across the US.
- Increase your earning ceiling
- You already know how to sell. We provide the market, training, systems and commission structure to help you turn that skill into substantially higher earnings.
- Develop faster
- Daily training, live call reviews, one-to-one coaching, external trainers and managers whose job is to make you better.
- Progress based on performance, not tenure
- Your career moves as quickly as your capability and results justify.
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.

You do need evidence that you can sell.
Ideally you will have:
- 1–5 years of B2B sales experience
- Experience generating new business through outbound activity
- Worked to clear sales or revenue targets
- Evidence of hitting or exceeding those targets
- Strong communication and questioning skills
- High resilience
- High personal standards
- Ambition to materially increase your earnings and responsibility
- Coachability and a genuine desire to improve
This will suit you if...
- You have already proved you can sell, but you feel your current role has a ceiling.
- You want:
- bigger deals
- bigger earning potential
- more senior clients
- better training
- faster progression
- a business where high performance creates real opportunity
