The Role

You’ll work closely with the Head of Digital in this role which is a senior hands-on Paid Media role with genuine ownership of multi-channel campaigns. You’ll manage budgets, including pacing, bid strategies and audience targeting, through to maintaining campaign performance through regular audits, through to interrogating performance data to produce clear, commercially focused reporting. You’ll be a go-to expert for Paid Social, as well as activating across search, programmatic and amazon. It’s a client facing position, working with client services, where you’ll be regularly communicating with clients. You’ll also be working with AI tools daily.

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.
