What does an Account Executive do at WPP Production?
Our Account Executives are highly organised, detail focused team players who own and run smaller sponsorship projects end to end, while supporting the wider Account Management team on larger campaigns for Rolex. In this role, you’ll manage delivery from rights holder assets through to live event and moment based activations, acting as the key point of contact on your own projects.
You’ll build your knowledge of Rolex’s brand codes, heritage and craftsmanship, and start to take ownership of your own project data, trackers and communications, learning what it takes to deliver work to the precision a luxury client expects.
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.
