A Day in the Life
Based in our London office, you will join Aesop’s DMI (Global Marketing) team, supporting International Project Managers across our core categories, such as Body Care, Hair Care, and Fragrance. This is a unique opportunity for a penultimate-year student to gain hands-on experience in developing and executing global marketing strategies for new products and core pillars.
You will be at the heart of the product and campaign development cycle. From conducting market research to assisting with campaign photoshoots and analysing post-launch performance, you will be a key contributor to bringing Aesop’s innovations to our global markets.
Day-to-day, You Will Be
- Conducting insightful analysis of sales data, market trends, and competitor activity to identify opportunities and support strategic decisions.
- Supporting campaign development by assisting with creative briefs, presentation development, and the coordination of mock-ups with external agencies.
- Collaborating with 360° teams (including Product Innovation, Creative, Copy, and Production) to ensure all marketing assets are ready for a seamless go-to-market execution.
- Assisting in project management, helping to maintain marketing calendars, track project timelines, and prepare for key internal meetings.
We Are Looking For
We are looking for a proactive and curious student who is keen to learn about the luxury beauty industry. You are a great match if you are both creative and analytical, with a collaborative spirit and the ability to take ownership of your projects.
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.

- Market & Competitor Awareness: A basic awareness and curiosity about the beauty landscape, particularly around body care competitors. Being observant of trends and what other brands are doing in the market will help you contribute valuable perspectives.
- Analytical Mindset: Proficiency in analysing sales data and market research to produce clear, actionable insights. Strong skills in Excel and PowerPoint are essential.
- Project Coordination: Excellent organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and respect deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Creative Acumen: An interest in the creative process, from olfactive storytelling to visual campaign development, and the ability to contribute fresh ideas.
