Location: London | Hybrid
Contract: 12-month FTC

I'm partnering with a leading global football and fan engagement business to find a Client Manager to join their partnerships team on a 12-month FTC.

Sitting at the intersection of football, culture, content and brand partnerships, you'll manage the day-to-day delivery of campaigns for major global brands, ensuring brilliant work is delivered on time, on budget and to a high standard.

  • Manage campaigns and projects from briefing through to delivery
  • Work closely with creative, strategy, media and commercial teams
  • Manage timelines, budgets and overall quality of delivery
  • Translate client needs into clear internal actions and briefs
  • Identify potential account growth and upsell opportunities
  • Support senior client leads across larger partnerships
  • Mentor and support junior team members

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.
