You'll be the first person to own digital as a discipline at this B2B agency, setting the direction for a department that doesn't yet exist. Most digital lead roles hand you an established team, a fixed remit, and someone else's playbook. This one hands you the mandate to define what digital means here.

This is an agency that has already built a strategic methodology, refined over two decades and more than 200 planning processes for industrial, science and technology businesses. You'd be applying and evolving that framework, not working to a generic planning model.

The Role

You'll own digital strategy across a retained base of global industrial, science and technology clients. Reporting to the Managing Director, you'll set the strategic direction and technical standards for the department as it scales. That means shaping the digital proposition, defining integrated strategies across SEO, paid media, analytics, websites and email, and moving the agency into emerging areas like AI Search (AEO and GEO).

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.

The Person

  • You have at least eight years in digital marketing, currently in a B2B agency, likely a Digital Lead, Senior Strategist or Strategy Director.
  • Your background is in complex, considered-purchase categories rather than fast-moving consumer work.
  • You have hands-on breadth across the digital toolkit: you've led a small team and managed external partners, you've owned the digital side of new business, and now you're ready to run a function.

A more diverse team is a more creative team.

It’s our job to build teams of people, and we’re proud to bring together a global network of diverse talent.

All applicants will be considered without regard to race, nationality, religious persuasion, sexual orientation, sex, marital or parental status, physical ability, gender, or age.
