Innovation Marketing Manager | Major UK Food Business | Hybrid

About the Role

Partnering with one of the UK’s leading branded food businesses, home to some of the country’s most iconic household brands, to recruit an Innovation Marketing Manager based in Berkshire.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-performing innovation team and play a pivotal role in bringing exciting new products to market, shaping the future of well-loved consumer brands.

The Role

You’ll lead the end-to-end innovation process, transforming consumer insights into commercially successful product launches. Working cross-functionally across Brand, Insights, R&D, Category, Commercial, and Shopper Marketing, you’ll develop compelling propositions that drive category growth and deliver real business impact.

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.
