The Talent Set is partnering with a leading animal welfare charity to recruit a Senior Acquisition Marketing Officer.
This is an exciting time to join the organisation as it makes its most significant investment in legacy fundraising to date. You’ll take a leading role in delivering an ambitious, DRTV-led acquisition campaign, helping the charity reach new audiences and build a strong pipeline of future legacy supporters.
Working closely with external agency partners and colleagues across fundraising, marketing and insight, you’ll oversee the campaign from development through to delivery and optimisation. While DRTV will be at the heart of the role, you’ll also support activity across digital, radio, print and other channels, using performance insight to continually strengthen results and the supporter experience.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with hands-on DRTV experience who would enjoy taking ownership of a high-profile campaign at a point of genuine growth and investment.
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.
