Drayton are partnering with a well-established, growing Food & Drink sector business to recruit a Marketing Manager, responsible for product strategy, innovation, and portfolio growth. The company is a standalone UK entity of mid-size scale, with a much larger European parent organisation.
This role would suit a marketer who enjoys combining market insight, innovation, and commercial thinking to guide products from concept through to launch.
A broad, cross-functional position, you'll work across product strategy, innovation planning, product development, and portfolio management, collaborating closely with commercial, operational, and technical teams.
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.
