Are you ready to take the next step in your brand marketing career?
Whether you're an ambitious Assistant Brand Manager looking for your first Brand Manager position or an established Brand Manager ready for a fresh challenge, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
This is a Brand Manager role with real ownership.
You'll join a privately owned, founder-led FMCG manufacturer with a proud heritage and an exciting future. The business has built an impressive portfolio of household brands and continues to invest heavily in innovation, marketing, and long-term growth, creating an environment where people are encouraged to contribute ideas, challenge thinking, and make a genuine impact.
This isn't the kind of business where every decision needs multiple layers of approval.
It's fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and collaborative. You'll work closely with senior leaders, have exposure across the wider business, and be trusted to take ownership from day one. It's the perfect environment for someone who wants to accelerate their development, broaden their experience, and see the direct impact of their work.
We're looking for a Brand Manager who is equally passionate about creativity and commerciality. Someone who enjoys bringing brands to life through engaging campaigns but also understands that great marketing should drive business performance.
Working as part of a close-knit marketing team, you'll help shape brand plans, deliver innovation, manage campaigns, and collaborate with colleagues across Sales, Category, Operations, and external agency partners to ensure every activation lands brilliantly.
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.
