The role

You will support the creation and delivery of marketing communications plans for the programmes we deliver for clients, including government, combined and local authorities and other organisations.

  • You will liaise with internal and external stakeholders to ensure marketing activity is delivered on brand, on time and within budget.
  • You will contribute to the growth and development of our marketing activities.
  • You will actively measure the impact of our campaign activity and support with the reporting of appropriate marketing metrics, ensuring learnings from previous campaigns inform future activity.

The team

You will join the Marketing Services team which is made up of around 25 colleagues based across the UK. We deliver high-quality marketing and communications activity for our clients across a range of programmes, from energy advice to households to low-carbon travel support for businesses and local authorities.

The Marketing Services team works with other Marketing, Digital and Technology colleagues to design, deliver and continuously improve our products and services to delight our customers and exceed our business goals. We work in an increasingly agile way, and we are customer-centric, product-orientated and data-driven in all that we do.

You’ll get access to a rich array of professional development opportunities in this role. This includes company-wide offers, such as coaching, project management and leadership training, as well as specialist marketing and communications skills development organised by our in-house ‘champions’. We also cover professional membership costs (such as the Chartered Institute of Marketing) as a staff benefit.

What you will do

  • You will create and deliver campaign activity to support the achievement of strategy objectives.
  • You’ll work across the whole range of the marketing mix including (but not limited to) social media, SEO, digital advertising, content creation, email marketing and print collateral.
  • You will build and maintain strong relationships with and provide expert marketing guidance and advice to programme stakeholders.

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.
