Role: Freelance Creative Planner
We’re looking for an experienced Freelance Creative Planner to support our Creative & Digital team on a rolling month-to-month contract until the end of the year (potentially longer). Start date as soon as possible.
This role sits at the heart of our creative workflow, helping us coordinate resource, manage priorities and keep multiple projects moving smoothly across a busy multidisciplinary creative team.
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.
We’re looking for someone who is comfortable jumping into a fast-moving environment, quickly understanding priorities and making sure the right work gets to the right people at the right time.
Please note this is more of a hands-on creative resource planning, not just general project management.
Responsibilities
- Managing and coordinating creative workflow across multiple projects
- Triaging briefs and allocating work based on priority, capability, and capacity
- Monitoring workload and identifying resource gaps, conflicts, and bottlenecks
- Supporting forward planning and forecasting of upcoming creative requirements
- Coordinating internal creative teams and freelance/external resource
- Maintaining clear visibility of priorities, timelines, and project status
- Working closely with Creative, Account, Delivery, and Operations teams
- Helping resolve workflow issues and keep delivery moving
- Supporting efficient use of internal and external resource
- Improving processes and ways of working where opportunities arise
