The Company
We’re partnering with an award-winning communications agency that delivers strategic advice, creative campaigns and high-impact communications for organisations operating within some of the UK’s most interesting and important sectors.
The agency works with an impressive portfolio of clients across infrastructure, renewable energy, construction, healthcare, manufacturing, transport and the built environment.
Many of the projects they support sit at the intersection of business, politics, communities, sustainability and the environment, making this a particularly interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys understanding how the world around us is changing.
Due to continued growth, the agency is looking to add several people to its Cheltenham team at Account Executive and Senior Account Executive level.
This could suit someone already working within PR, communications or public affairs, but the agency is also very open to bright and ambitious graduates looking to build a career in communications.
If you’ve studied Politics, Geography, International Relations, Public Policy, Planning, Sustainability, History, Economics, English, Journalism or a similarly research-led subject, this is an opportunity to put that knowledge and curiosity into practice.
The Role
You’ll work alongside experienced communications professionals, supporting campaigns for organisations involved in sectors that have a genuine impact on the economy, environment and communities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Depending on the team you join, your clients could include organisations involved in:
- Renewable energy and offshore wind
- Airports and ports
- Carbon capture and low-carbon infrastructure
- Construction and the built environment
- Housing and development
- Healthcare
- Manufacturing
- Major infrastructure projects
You don’t need to arrive as an expert in these sectors. What’s more important is that you’re curious about current affairs and interested in understanding the political, social, economic and environmental issues surrounding major projects and organisations.
You’ll research political, policy and industry developments, monitor the media and understand how changing public opinion, government policy and stakeholder sentiment could affect your clients.
You’ll then help turn that understanding into clear and engaging communications.
This could include writing press releases, articles, newsletters, stakeholder updates and campaign content, supporting media-relations activity, liaising with journalists and helping coordinate events, exhibitions and briefings. You’ll also attend client meetings and gradually develop trusted relationships with clients, journalists and external stakeholders.
These are communications-led positions rather than sales roles. Your focus will be on understanding complex subjects, developing strong ideas and helping deliver accurate and engaging campaigns.
