About the job:
Are you an early-stage career marketer (or you’re a bit further along and want to get into marketing) and think you’ve got what it takes to build, launch, and run different, inventive, and creative marketing campaigns for B2B tech brands that truly deliver the goods?
Then have we got a job spec for you to check out... This role is all about helping to deliver brilliant marketing programs and campaigns for our clients, and delighting those same clients along the way.
- You’ll be working incredibly closely (like, REALLY closely) with our clients, the Sharper team, and our wider network of creative talent, to build, deliver and bring to life creative, interesting, different, and attention-grabbing B2B marketing campaigns.
- It’s all to ensure we deliver top-notch work that translates into success for our clients – whatever that looks like to them.
About Us:
We’re on a mission to give our clients the Fresh Ideas & Firepower they need to make them and their B2B marketing Sharper (whilst making B2B marketing as a whole more creative, valued and commercially successful in the process).
Client’s love working with us for 3 main reasons:
- We’re fearlessly creative, but we underpin EVERYTHING we do with metrics and measures of success.
- We’re B2B tech specialists. We know our clients world because it’s our world too.
- We’re nice people and fun to work with, but we give no easy rides. We’re direct. We challenge. We ask hard questions. Because that’s what a great agency partner should do.
And we live and die by our values: Creativity, Tenacity, Fairness, and Fun. If you don’t think these 4 things are important then you’re not going to enjoy working here.
So, does Sharper sound like something you want to be part of? Then read on…
About You:
We’re a small (in the grand scheme of things), independent agency so we can’t afford to carry any passengers. Which means we hire first and foremost on attitude and personality.
Experience and skills are obviously useful, but they can be gained or learned. If you’ve got the right approach and attitude though, you’ll be on to a winner.
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.
So, what does that “right approach” and attitude look like?
- You’ll be “can do”. You need to be able to pick up the initiative and get stuff done, no matter what kind of curve balls come flying at you.
- You’ll be a problem solver. If things crop up that get in the way you won’t just accept them and say, “oh well”. You’ll be coming up with the ideas and different approaches to get around, under and over those challenges.
- You’ll be inquisitive and empathetic, always looking for new ideas and new ways to do things that connect with people. And you’ll bring those to the table for the benefit of Sharper and our clients.
- You’ll be confident (but definitely not arrogant). You need to know yourself, know what you’re good at and back yourself in doing it. But you’ll also be self-aware and humble enough to know where the line is.
- You’ll want to crack on with your career. We want to see you be a success, but we also know you’re not going to stay with us forever. If we can help you on the way and we all have some fun doing it, then that’s win-win.
As you’re in the early stages of your career (or you’re pivoting into marketing) you likely won’t have a lot of experience you can fall back on. But that’s totally fine with us.
We’re not one of those companies expecting a new graduate to have 5-years of industry experience (what’s that all about?).
If you’ve got a business or marketing degree and maybe a year in industry that’s great. But if you haven’t, it’s not a deal breaker. Some of the current Sharperino’s have degrees in psychology, English, and broadcasting (whatever that means?). Some of the current Sharperino’s don’t have degrees at all.
We know you won’t have an extensive CV to show us but what you do need you to be able to demonstrate is some key skills you’ll most definitely need…
Skills:
- Clear communicator. You’ll be working across multiple campaigns/projects at any one time, talking to a variety of people so you’ve got to be clear and consistent with your communications – both written and verbal
- Able to handle complexity. With multiple projects/campaigns on the go you’ve got to have the mental agility to be able to switch from one thing to the next and be comfortable managing your own energy and time to do so.
- Idea generator. Client's love us for the different, unique, and innovative ideas we come up with, so you'll need to be able to throw plenty of these into the mix (and then be able to bring these to life)
- Copy writing. You’ve got to have a solid grasp on the English language and able to create engaging copy that will be used across the campaigns/projects we deliver for our clients.
