Help Shape the Future of a Growing Commercial Division
Galebreaker is a UK-based, family-owned manufacturing business with over 40 years of experience delivering innovative, high-performance solutions across agricultural, industrial, and commercial markets.
As we continue to expand our Commercial Division, we're seeking an ambitious Senior Business Development Manager to play a pivotal role in driving growth and building long-term customer partnerships.
This is more than a business development role. It's an opportunity to combine hands-on sales success with leadership responsibility as you help shape and scale a growing commercial function.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Winning new business across key sectors including manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, waste & recycling, and industrial environments.
- Building senior-level relationships with customers, partners, and key decision-makers.
- Leading complex sales opportunities from prospecting through to negotiation and contract award.
- Managing and developing a high-quality sales pipeline through CRM-led processes.
- Coaching, developing, and leading a growing Business Development team.
- Working closely with technical, operational, and product teams to deliver tailored customer solutions.
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.
