Interim Head of Marketing
London | 4 days per week in office
Interim Contract | Inside IR35
This is a genuinely unique opportunity to step inside one of the most exciting and sought-after media businesses in the UK.
We’re partnering with a high-growth, creator-led media business behind one of the world’s most recognised content brands. They already have millions of eyeballs on their content and an audience most brands would love to have.
The challenge isn’t buying attention.
It’s turning that attention into a repeatable growth engine.
We’re looking for a highly creative, commercially minded Interim Head of Marketing who can combine bold ideas with data to understand what makes content and campaigns travel – and then build a marketing engine that makes virality more intentional and less reliant on luck.
This is a scrappy role.
You won’t be sitting behind huge paid media budgets or relying on agencies to create growth. You’ll be close to the content, audience and data, constantly looking for creative ways to increase reach, distribution, engagement and commercial impact.
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.
You’ll be:
- Developing creative marketing ideas designed to generate conversation, sharing and organic growth
- Using audience and performance data to understand why something worked – and how to replicate it
- Building repeatable growth loops rather than relying on one-off viral moments
- Finding new ways to distribute content across platforms, channels, partnerships and communities
- Turning major content moments into broader campaigns that travel far beyond the original audience
- Testing ideas quickly, learning from the results and doubling down on what works
- Identifying new audiences, behaviours and opportunities for growth
- Leading and developing a high-performing marketing team
- Working closely with content, social, product and commercial teams to turn ideas into action
ABOUT YOU
You’ll be a senior marketer who is comfortable operating without a traditional big-brand marketing playbook.
You’re likely someone who:
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Is highly creative but equally comfortable with data
- Understands organic growth, audiences, content and distribution
- Can explain why something went viral rather than simply celebrating that it did
- Has built repeatable growth mechanisms around content, products or communities
- Loves experimenting and testing unconventional ideas
- Can move from strategy to execution without layers of support
- Is commercially sharp and understands how attention ultimately translates into business growth
- Thrives in a high-expectation, fast-moving environment
Experience within media, entertainment, creator businesses, consumer technology, high-growth brands or other audience-led businesses would be particularly interesting.
This is not traditional brand marketing, and it’s not a big-budget performance marketing role.
It’s about creativity + data + distribution.
The business already has the attention. Your job is to help build the engine that makes that attention compound.
