Your day-to-day work could include:
- Researching journalists, publications, influencers, trends and opportunities for our clients.
- Helping to build and maintain media and influencer lists.
- Supporting the team with media outreach and following up on stories and opportunities.
- Monitoring and clipping coverage and helping prepare client updates and reports.

- Researching ideas, trends, cultural moments and potential campaign partners.
- Helping to organise product send-outs, mailers and influencer activity.

- Drafting straightforward written materials such as pitches, briefing notes and coverage summaries.
- Keeping project information, trackers and contact lists accurate and up to date.

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As your experience grows, we’ll support you to develop stronger relationships with journalists and influencers, contribute more to client meetings and take ownership of elements of campaigns yourself.
What we’re looking for
You might be a recent graduate, have some work experience, or be looking for your first step into PR or communications. We’re more interested in your potential than in you having followed a particular route.
You’ll probably enjoy this role if you:
- Are interested in PR, communications, media and how brands become part of conversations.
- Are curious about what’s happening in the world and enjoy finding things out.
- Communicate clearly and confidently, both in writing and in person.
- Are organised and comfortable keeping track of several different tasks.
- Pay attention to detail.
- Are happy asking questions when you’re unsure.
- Enjoy working as part of a team.
- Are comfortable taking feedback and using it to improve.
- Are proactive and willing to get stuck in.
- Have an interest in food, drink, travel or consumer brands.
- Enjoy networking and events.
