Performance Marketing Manager
London | Hybrid – 2/3 days per week
£50,000–£55,000 + benefits

What you'll be doing
- Taking hands-on ownership of Google Ads, with a major focus on Search
- Managing and developing Meta and other paid acquisition channels
- Managing significant budgets against commercial performance and growth targets
- Analysing performance, attribution and conversion data to identify opportunities
- Testing new campaigns, audiences, creative and emerging acquisition channels
- Working closely with creative, SEO, UX, product and data teams
- Helping improve tracking, first-party data and measurement
- Identifying CRO opportunities across the customer journey
- Managing performance across multiple products and customer audiences
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.
