We’re looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Marketing Manager to join a multi-service organisation on an exciting 12-month contract.

Your role will include:
- Developing and delivering quarterly and annual external marketing plans aligned to business growth objectives.
- Creating integrated campaigns across digital, social, email, direct marketing, events, PR and paid media.
- Developing targeted outbound and prospecting campaigns to reach new clients, sectors and geographical markets.
- Building brand presence across priority regions through localised campaigns, case studies, partnerships and stakeholder engagement.
- Working closely with Business Development and Client Services to create marketing activity that supports commercial growth and generates quality leads.
- Leading external content including thought leadership, newsletters, brochures, social media and campaign assets.
- Managing PR and media activity, including press releases and media relationships.
- Planning and promoting the organisation’s presence at trade shows, conferences and industry events.
- Using CRM, marketing automation, analytics and AI tools to improve targeting, personalisation, efficiency and campaign performance.
- Monitoring campaign performance and using data and insight to continually improve results.
- Managing agencies, suppliers and marketing budgets where required.
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.
