About FixMyCar

We are the UK’s most trusted site for car repairs and maintenance, helping millions of drivers each year compare prices on repair services from the UK’s largest network of trusted garages.

Our mission is to simplify vehicle ownership by connecting leading garages with drivers online. We strive to empower drivers with choice and convenience when comparing and booking garages, whilst keeping trust and transparency at the heart of everything we do.

The Role

FixMyCar is looking for a Marketing Communications Executive to help us tell our story to drivers and garages across the UK. You'll create content people actually want to read, keep our channels buzzing and make sure both sides of our marketplace hear from us at the right time.

You'll work closely with the wider marketing team and report into the Head of Communications. This is a content-led role, so a strong writer with a lot of creative ideas will thrive here.

Key Responsibilities

Social Media Management

  • Create and post social media content across our four social media channels, keeping our tone consistent and our followers engaged.
  • Monitor engagement and put together monthly social media reports.

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.
