Help engineering businesses solve complex sourcing and supply chain challenges.
We're recruiting on behalf of a growing international business that partners with engineering and manufacturing companies to source products globally, improve quality, reduce costs and simplify complex procurement.
This is a consultative business development role where you'll build relationships with engineering and procurement leaders, identify new commercial opportunities and develop tailored supply chain solutions.
If you enjoy opening doors, solving problems and winning long-term partnerships rather than simply selling products, we'd love to hear from you.
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.
