The Opportunity

Are you a hands-on search specialist who excels at turning strategy into flawless technical execution? Open Partners is looking for a Paid Search Associate Partner to own and drive the technical activation of our Paid Search vision for key clients. Acting as the crucial bridge between strategic planning and live performance, you will deploy campaigns seamlessly in line with best practices. Working alongside our Partners and wider team, you will master search platforms, eradicate inefficiencies, and deliver rapid, incremental, profitable growth for our clients.

Your Role & Responsibilities

  • Performance Optimisation: Drive tangible client growth by continuously monitoring, testing, and refining campaigns to improve metrics across reach, response, and conversion.
  • Quality Assurance & Pacing: Eradicate technical errors and budget inefficiencies through systematic quality assurance, platform mastery, and routine pacing checks.
  • Technical Ownership: Act as a consummate platform specialist, taking complete ownership of live campaign delivery and execution.
  • Actionable Reporting: Turn complex data into clear, client-ready narratives by delivering punctual reports that highlight actionable insights rather than just numbers.
  • Co-Intelligent Delivery: Actively integrate AI tools into daily workflows to streamline delivery, automate repetitive tasks, and boost team productivity.
  • Commercial Problem Solving: Connect technical execution to business value, using platform solutions to solve specific commercial challenges for clients.

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.
