Magic Me Marketing and Communications Manager
Magic Me is seeking a strategic, data-driven Marketing and Communications Manager to join our team in a brand-new, permanent role. Following an internal assessment and deep stakeholder conversations for our upcoming strategy, our community shared that we have a fantastic opportunity to become far more visible across the multiple sectors and spaces we operate across. We need an experienced, data-literate marketer who can move us beyond administrative execution and turn their insights into active, strategic audience and donor growth.
This is an incredibly exciting moment to join us. We are currently shaping our new 5-year strategy (2027–2032), which leads directly into our 40th anniversary in 2029! From our award-winning projects to our live exhibition at the Wellcome Collection, you will have a rich, creative tapestry of stories to tell. See the role job pack for full details!
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.
