Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Main Responsibilities
Working with key customers, internal stakeholders and creative agencies, you will develop and deliver the marketing plans, driving quality brand executions across travel retail outlets that excite the customer and connect travellers to the spirits brands they love.
Our Ideal Candidate
With experience in customer or trade marketing, you’ll be an expert in delivering quality brand executions in stores at the point of purchase. The ideal candidate will have spirits industry and travel retail experience, or alternatively could have marketing experience with other brands in similar sectors such as FMCG.
- Willingness to travel
- Experience working with key accounts and can adapt your communication style
- Good understanding of working with creative agencies for marketing toolkit adaptations and activation executions is a must
- As a Global business unit touching all four corners of the world, you’ll have a strong cultural awareness and the ability to speak more than one language is a benefit but not essential
