Investment Media Manager
Location: London, Brighton, Manchester
Reports to: Head of Media Investment
About Us
Anything is Possible. We believe it so much we made it our brand.
We partner with ambitious organisations across media, creative and technology to change outcomes, not just outputs. We are the youngest agency ever to receive IPA Effectiveness Accreditation, and we are building the UK's best independent agency.
We are Possiblists. Are you?
About The Role
You own brief quality and the integrity of the buy on a named set of clients, across OOH, broadcast, audio, press, cinema, CTV and programmatic.
Media Investment turns market knowledge and negotiation into value. Your job is to take the strategic intent from the planner or strategist and turn it into market-ready buys.
That means writing the briefs that go to media owners and specialist partners, interrogating what comes back, and building the rationale behind the buy: the case for why this is the right investment in the market. You negotiate within the parameters the Head of Media Investment sets. You bring independent market knowledge into every conversation. You do not relay what a specialist tells you, you challenge it.
Accepting a plan without challenging it is not the job.
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 will be commercially literate, market-fluent and confident in the room. The person clients trust on the buy, and the senior buy lead the Media Executive learns from.
What Success Looks Like
- Your briefs go to market clear, complete and right first time, and the plans that come back are interrogated, not accepted.
- The buy is sharp. Value extracted at the point of purchase, commercial terms held, rates challenged.
- Your channel sections hold together as deliverable, accurate specs within the plan, with every number and every format right.
- Campaigns run as one, with OOH, broadcast, audio, press, cinema and CTV coordinated and connected to programmatic.
- Your channels go live on time, budgets are managed against plan, and actuals are confirmed cleanly for Finance.
- Clients trust you on the buy, and you own the media investment conversation with confidence in the room.
About You
- A strong media buying and investment background across offline and broadcast channels (programmatic is a bonus), with the market knowledge to challenge a proposal rather than relay it.
- A confident negotiator who extracts value at the point of purchase and holds commercial terms with media owners and specialists.
- You write sharp, complete briefs, build the rationale behind the buy, and can stand it up commercially.
- Numerate and rigorous. You own every number and every spec on your channel sections, and you get them right.
- Strong on cross-channel coordination, so OOH, broadcast, audio, press, cinema, CTV and programmatic run as one campaign.
- Confident in the room. You present the buy, field the questions, and build the client relationship as the senior buy lead.

Our Culture
These are the Possiblist behaviours. They describe how we do the work, whatever the job.
- Be bold and unapologetic. We never win by pretending to be something we're not.
- Be the one who makes it happen. And own it. We'll back you up.
- Have a point of view, and say it like you mean it. Remember, you are the expert. So get your point across directly.
- Be always open. Closing yourself off is the opposite of Possiblism.
- Win by working together. Our superpower is each other.
- Grow in all directions. One per cent better every day, in every way, for our clients, for the agency, for yourself.
We aren't just any other agency. We are building a movement called Possiblism.
