About Us
Our mission is to deliver joy in every shop, through unbeatable choice, unrivalled service, and reassuringly good value. We’re also on a mission to empower our business with smart technology; we’ve recently launched our AI Academy, providing a tailored AI learning journey for every colleague.
We’re Ocado Retail, a market-leading joint venture between Ocado Group and M&S, and the world’s largest dedicated online supermarket, ocado.com. Not only is Ocado the only place to shop a full range of M&S food online, it’s also the home to the widest online supermarket range in the UK and champion of small, independent brands. We’re also the brains behind Zoom by Ocado, our same-day grocery delivery service.
About The Team And The Role
This role will sit in the PR, Comms and Social team and report into the Influencers & Brand Ambassadors Manager.
It’s an exciting time to be joining the team as we have big plans in the social and creator space to make social and influencers an even more important part of our marketing strategy in FY27. This newly created role will be instrumental in helping us to achieve that goal; building brand love and driving greater consideration for the brand.
As part of the social and influencer workstream you will have the opportunity to work with teams from across the business. Whether that’s our in-house creative team, EAT, as well as collaborating with your PR counterparts, and colleagues across commercial, this role will support the Influencers and Brand Ambassadors manager in our efforts to turbo charge our influencer marketing output moving forwards.
With a new Social and Influencer Lead having just joined, one of your main areas of focus will be working with them and your manager to scale up Ocado’s talent flywheel approach and model. This will involve strengthening existing talent verticals and identifying new and exciting creators and opportunities for Ocado to tell its story.
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.
