Marketing Designer
Following our recent rebrand from SF Recruitment, SF Partners is entering an exciting new phase of growth. We support leadership appointments that shape the direction of businesses - and how we communicate that to the market has never been more important. Our marketing function plays a key role in supporting our sales teams (recruitment consultants), building brand visibility and driving engagement across multiple channels. As the team evolves, we’re looking to strengthen our creative capability with a design-focused role that helps bring our brand, campaigns and content to life.
The Role
We’re looking for a Marketing Designer / Creative Marketing Executive to join our growing marketing team. This is a hands-on creative role with a strong focus on producing high-quality visual assets across digital and print channels, including brochures, salary guides, pitch decks, social media graphics, email creatives, website imagery and campaign materials. You’ll work closely with the Head of Marketing and Senior Brand Executive, taking creative briefs and turning them into polished, on-brand assets that support business development, consultant visibility and wider marketing activity. This role would suit someone who enjoys variety, is highly organised, has strong attention to detail and is confident working in a fast-paced B2B environment.
Full-time, hybrid – 2x per week at Birmingham HQ.
What You’ll Be Doing
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.
