Marketing Assistant — Milton Keynes
Full-time · Immediate start · £26,000–£30,000 OTE (uncapped commission)
About the Role
Start a commercial career without needing a commercial background. Relay Direct runs face-to-face marketing campaigns for established brands across B2B, B2C and events. We don't hire for CVs — we hire for attitude and train the rest. Most of our team joined with no marketing experience at all, from hospitality, retail, customer service, semi-professional sport and university.
If you want to learn how customers are actually won — not read about it — this is where you start.
What your first 6 months look like
- Weeks 1–4: Shadow an experienced team member. Learn the brands, the campaigns, the pitch.
- Months 2–3: Run your own customer conversations with support. Start earning commission.
- Months 4–6: Take on campaign responsibility, mentor new starters, and step toward Campaign Lead.
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.
Progression is based on results and reliability — not time served. Some of current Campaign Leads joined as Marketing Assistants in the last 6 months.

What we're looking for
- Genuine interest in marketing, brands and customer behaviour
