Major Players are partnering with an esteemed, global, independent brand experience agency to hire an Account Director for their London team.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with some of the world's most exciting global brands to create culture-led experiences that resonate with youth audiences and drive real results.

The Account Director is the most important role in the business. You set the pace, direction, and standard for everything around you, leading your team, your clients, and your accounts with authority and creativity. You'll be a cultural leader, a strategic thinker and a commercial driver all at once. You'll create the conditions for brilliant work to happen, own the profitability of your accounts, and be the person clients turn to when it matters most.

Key responsibilities:

  • Own the seamless day-to-day management of key accounts, consistently exceeding KPIs and client expectations.
  • Oversee all strategic output across your accounts, bringing a confident, well-informed point of view and presenting compelling arguments to clients with clarity and conviction.
  • Stay genuinely curious about the industry, bringing strong creative judgement to every project and creating the conditions for best-in-class work to happen.
  • Take full ownership of account financials, fees, cost estimates, resource tracking, and profitability, all whilst proactively identifying new commercial opportunities.
  • Manage, mentor, and inspire your account team, driving their progression and holding them to the highest standards of delivery.

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.
