The Opportunity

We are working with a leading agency that is urgently looking for a Freelance Paid Search Account Manager to support its team on a 1โ€“2 month rolling contract.

  • Managing budgets, pacing and performance against agreed targets
  • Conducting keyword research, search query analysis and account restructuring
  • Optimising bidding strategies, audiences, ad copy and landing-page performance
  • Supporting activity across Google Shopping, Performance Max and feed-led campaigns where required
  • Producing clear performance reports and communicating insights to clients and internal stakeholders

  • Working closely with wider media, analytics and client service teams

Reasons to use Rodeo

Iโ€™m in my final year doing Economics and I donโ€™t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer โ€” it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donโ€™t need a masters. Letโ€™s look at the ones youโ€™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 โ€” that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
