Your role:
You own the UK market on the sales side. You'll build and lead a high-performing AE & SDR team from the ground up – hiring, ramping, coaching and holding the bar on day-to-day execution.
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 stay close to the front line: running deals yourself when it matters, jumping into demos and discovery calls, and setting the standard for how we sell in UK.
You own the UK sales number – monthly and yearly targets – and you're accountable for a reliable forecast. You work hand in hand with Marketing on lead-gen for the UK market and with Customer Success on clean handoffs.
You translate what works in DACH into the UK context, feed learnings back to the leadership team, and shape how the whole UK sales motion scales.
What's waiting for you:
- Market ownership: Full responsibility for fonio's sales performance in UK.
- Team building: Hire, ramp and coach the UK AE & SDR team as we scale.
- Player-coach: Lead from the front – stay in deals and demos, not just dashboards.
- Quota ownership: Clear monthly and yearly targets for the UK market - you´re setting it up for the team.
- Cross-functional impact: Close collaboration with Marketing, Customer Success and the founders.
- Build, don't maintain: Shape the UK sales motion in a fast-scaling startup.
