Job Description

Job Ref: APR26-5

An opportunity to join AP Racing’s Specialty OE team in a commercially driven, customer-facing role focused on winning new business and driving growth across key OEM accounts.

You will be responsible for identifying, developing, and securing new programme opportunities with both existing and target customers. Working at the front end of vehicle development cycles, you will position AP Racing as the preferred partner for high-performance braking and clutch systems.

This role requires a strong blend of technical credibility and commercial drive, with clear accountability for delivering new programme wins and contributing directly to Specialty OE revenue growth targets.

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.
