Responsibilities

Position Purpose

This role leads the Marketing Analytics function as a strategic business partner to the CMO and the wider Marketing Leadership Team. The function exists to transform raw data across paid media, owned channels, CRM and third-party signals into decisions that drive measurable growth.

Sitting at the intersection of Analytics, AdTech and Marketing Strategy, this role defines the analytical capabilities required to improve marketing performance, translates complex business and marketing questions into clear analytical requirements, and directs analytics and data science teams to deliver actionable insights.

Rather than conducting hands-on technical implementation, this role sets the analytical agenda, defines reporting and measurement requirements, and ensures analytical outputs support effective marketing decision-making.

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.
