About Bike Club

We're customer obsessed. We put the customer at the heart of everything we do - and we're looking for people who feel the same way.

Bike Club is changing the way families access children's bikes. Through our subscription model, we make it easy for families to get the right bike at the right time, while keeping bikes in circulation for longer.

We are a purpose-led, fast-growing business with a strong focus on customer growth, retention and building a more circular approach to children's cycling.

The Role

We are looking for a commercially driven Performance Marketing Manager to manage and improve customer acquisition across the UK and Germany.

Reporting to the Marketing Director, you will be responsible for the management of the performance marketing agency and overall delivery of our paid acquisition strategy. You will manage our agency partners, monitor channel performance and use customer and commercial data to recommend where we should invest, test and optimise. This role combines performance marketing expertise with strong commercial judgement. You will work closely with Marketing, Content, Data, Product, Finance and Commercial colleagues to improve the efficiency, quality and predictability of customer acquisition.

You will be comfortable moving between strategic planning and detailed performance analysis, challenging agency recommendations and turning data into clear actions.

Tasks

What You'll Do

  • Acquisition Planning

    • Develop and deliver Bike Club's customer acquisition plans across the UK and Germany in collaboration with the Marketing Director.
    • Translate business objectives into channel plans, campaign targets and testing priorities.
    • Recommend how acquisition budgets should be allocated across markets, channels and campaigns.
    • Identify new opportunities to grow customer acquisition and market penetration.
    • Develop a clear test-and-learn roadmap across channels, audiences, propositions, creative, and landing pages.
    • Continuously assess the effectiveness and scalability of acquisition channels.

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.
