We’re looking for someone who gets what makes consumers tick, knows how to bring brilliant multidisciplinary teams together and is confident sitting in the room with senior clients, turning big ambitions into work that actually happens.
If you love the pace and variety of agency life, enjoy getting stuck into a meaty client challenge and have a real passion for creating experiences that connect with people, we’d love to hear from you.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an Account Director with strong consumer experience to play a key role across a major international account.

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.
