About The Role

What does the average day look like?

No two days are quite the same, but most start with a check-in on live campaigns, reviewing timelines, aligning with agencies, and making sure everything is on track. There's often a planning session with colleagues to shape upcoming activity, using data and insight to refine the approach.

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.

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.

As the day unfolds, work centres on coordinating with media and creative partners, keeping project trackers up to date, and making quick decisions to keep delivery smooth, whether that's resolving a snag with a supplier or adjusting plans to meet deadlines. Time is also spent reviewing campaign assets to ensure they're on-brand and consistent and managing where they're stored and shared.

Alongside delivery, there's a steady rhythm of pulling together updates and reports, tracking performance, and evaluating what's working and what could be even better next time. It's a hands-on role where organisation, collaboration, and attention to detail keep campaigns moving from idea to impact.

A Little Bit About The Team...

The team is a close-knit group of nine, spanning Marketing Campaigns, Brand, and Market Research. Together, they combine insight, creativity, and delivery to shape how campaigns come to life and perform.

This role sits within the Marketing Campaigns side, focused on planning and delivering high-impact activity from start to finish. It's a collaborative environment, working closely with brand and research colleagues to make sure every campaign is insight-led, on-brand, and effective. Expect a supportive team that shares ideas, works at pace, and takes pride in delivering campaigns that make a real difference.

Next Steps

CV shortlisting will take place after the advert closes, with interviews planned from the week commencing 16th September, subject to business needs. Early applications are encouraged, as we may close the advert early due to high application volumes.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who thrives in the fast-paced world of campaigns and creative, and knows how to turn ideas into well-executed, high-impact marketing activity.
