About the role
We are seeking a passionate Marketing Officer (Performance & Affiliate Marketing) to join the Marketing & Communications team at Imperial Business School. Working as part of Imperial College London, a global top 10 university, this is an exciting opportunity for a performance marketer to plan, implement and optimise campaigns that attract the world’s top students to Imperial.
What you would be doing
As the Marketing Officer (Performance & Affiliate Marketing), you will support the Marketing Manager (Performance & Affiliate Marketing) to deliver advertising – Paid Search, Paid Social, Video, Audio, Display, Out-of-Home - and third-party affiliate marketing campaigns that generate leads and applications aligned to Imperial Business School’s targets of attracting high-calibre students from around the world.
You will create and implement marketing campaigns for the Business School’s brand and degree programmes (MBA, MSc and PhD), and report on their success. You will work closely with a media agency to deliver campaigns that deliver audience growth in target regions and convert prospective students to applicants and enrolments.
Working across paid media and third-party media partners, including higher education publishers, the leads you generate will feed directly into our CRM (HubSpot), and you will retarget existing contacts with aspirational media campaigns. You will be in regular contact with our media agency and support the Marketing Manager to manage this relationship. You will be using insights from your own evaluations of campaigns to implement improvements for future campaign performance.
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.
