Great internal communication doesn't just share information. It creates culture, builds engagement and helps people understand why their work matters.

We're looking for an Communications & Engagement Lead to join one of the UK's most respected technology manufacturers, creating products that genuinely make a difference around the world.

This is a brand-new role, giving you the rare opportunity to build an internal communications function from the ground up. Rather than inheriting established processes, you'll have the freedom to shape strategy, introduce new ideas and make a visible impact across the entire business.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Director of Talent & Culture, with a dotted line into the Product & Marketing Director, the Communications & Engagement Lead will sit at the heart of the business, bringing together People, Marketing and Product teams to ensure every employee understands where the company is heading, why it matters and the role they play in its success.

You'll help transform internal communication from something that's currently ad hoc into a professional, engaging and strategic function that connects colleagues with the company's vision, products, culture and purpose.

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.
