Job Purpose
As a Marketing Executive you will work alongside a marketing account manager supporting campaign execution for several of our biggest brands.

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.
Job Role
Marketing budgets are released on a quarterly or half yearly basis. Using information gathered from market analysis, customer insights and sales trends, you will be part of a small team who will devise creative, innovative and impacting marketing plans that meet stakeholder objectives. The marketing manager will own the planning process and vendor management, but the marketing executive will be accountable for the execution, campaign management and reporting.
For example, customer re-engagement through profiling or a research project, building sales revenue through sales enablement and incentives, winning key accounts via account-based marketing, or creating networking opportunities through training and events.
This is an opportunity for a Marketing Executive, ideally with up to 1 year IT or marketing agency experience, but also available as an entry role.
