Head of Growth (with a long-term equity opportunity at a Leeds-based agency)
📍 Leeds – Hybrid (3 days in the office)
💰 Salary – £50-60k (depending on experience) + profit share + long-term equity opportunity
Not many agency leadership roles come with the chance to genuinely shape the future and be a part-owner… but this one does.
We're working exclusively with an award-winning brand design and digital agency that's spent the last decade building an enviable reputation for creative work, strong client relationships, and sustainable growth. They've built a brilliant team, a loyal client base, and a business that's profitable, stable, and respected.
Now they're looking for someone to help take it to the next level.
This is a rare opportunity for a commercially-minded agency professional to join a small, ambitious team and play a major role in shaping the future of the business. You'll lead growth, help steer commercial decisions, and, over time, have the opportunity to become a genuine partner in the agency.
If you've ever looked at agencies and thought, "I'd love the opportunity to build something of my own one day" but haven’t been able to get started for one reason or another, this could be a perfect way of getting that plan going.
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.
