Who are we?

Here at Sharp, we solve complex challenges for global brands. As an award-winning brand consultancy, we help brands grow their value through Sharp Co-Create — our proven collaboration platform that builds creative ideas with audiences, not for them. We specialise in Branding, Advertising, Internal Comms and multi-channel campaigns, across different sectors and multiple countries. Fashion to Pharma, Finance to Hospitality, Travel to Healthcare, UK to Japan, Switzerland to the USA.

This Role: Account Executive

We’re looking for a super curious, highly organised and keen Account Executive. You will be the organisational backbone of our client teams, supporting Account Managers and Directors to deliver brilliant work. You’ll act as a vital link between our clients and the agency, helping to coordinate projects from brief to delivery. While not essential, some experience or exposure to an agency environment would be great but we're also open to super keen graduates with work experience in roles where juggling different tasks was part of daily life.

Your role will include:

  • Project Coordination: Supporting the day-to-day coordination of brand and campaign projects to ensure they are delivered on time, on brief and efficiently.
  • Client Services Support: Attending client meetings, taking detailed minutes/contact reports and helping to manage day-to-day client communications and status updates.
  • Team Collaboration: Working closely with Account Managers, Directors, and the Creative team to help execute multichannel campaigns.
  • Admin: Assisting in drafting creative briefs, setting up project timelines, and keeping internal status sheets meticulously updated.
  • Logistics: Arranging, prepping and attending client meetings and CoCreate sessions (including managing agendas, materials, and logistics).
  • Creative Support: Helping to prepare presentation decks for creative concepts and capturing client feedback accurately.
  • Financial and Tracking: Assisting with financial admin, including drafting cost estimates and setting up and managing timing plans.
  • Market Insight: Undertaking desk research (e.g., competitor reviews and industry trends) to support client strategies.
  • Supplier Liaison: Communicating with external suppliers to source quotes and track deliverables.

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.
