External Communications Manager
Surrey | Hybrid Working
Are you a creative communications professional with a passion for building brands, creating engaging content and delivering impactful marketing campaigns?
We're recruiting an External Communications Manager on behalf of a highly respected international asset finance organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to shape and enhance the external profile of an ambitious business, helping to drive brand awareness, strengthen customer and partner engagement and support commercial growth across multiple business sectors.
Working closely with the Head of Marketing & Communications, you'll take ownership of external communications strategy and deliver engaging campaigns that position the business as a trusted market leader.
This is a varied, hands-on position where no two days are the same. You'll develop and deliver integrated communications campaigns across digital, social media, PR, website content, advertising and email marketing. You'll create compelling content including articles, case studies, news stories and thought leadership pieces while managing relationships with media partners and industry associations.
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.
