Discovery Lead (SEO, AEO & Content)
Competitive salary, dependent on experience
Brighton or London (Hybrid)
Our client is a globally recognised digital marketing agency, trusted by household-name enterprise brands to solve their most complex discovery challenges. They are redefining what it means to be found, understood and trusted - across traditional search and the new world of AI-powered discovery.
The Opportunity
- A newly created, senior leadership role - not a traditional SEO Director position, but a broader mandate spanning SEO, AEO, generative search and content
- Immediate ownership of discovery strategy for two major enterprise clients with complex, multi-stakeholder digital estates
- Genuine influence over how a market-leading agency shapes and commercialises its Search, AI & Discoverability proposition
- Real investment in AI: an opportunity to build practical, forward-thinking tools and ways of working, not just talk about them
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.
