Who are we?
We’re Standard Life, a retirement specialist focused entirely on retirement savings and income. We champion the belief that everyone’s journey to and through retirement can be better, and for more than 200 years we’ve been helping our customers plan and prepare for their financial futures.
Life today is increasingly complicated, uncertain and unpredictable. People move through different careers, face unexpected moments and navigate important choices. We offer our colleagues flexibility, trust and benefits that work for whatever life brings. In return, we expect curiosity, connection, accountability and high standards. We make room for what matters, so you can bring your best every day.
The role
As Senior Brand Campaign Manager, you will own the consumer brand activation and content plan, translating agreed brand priorities into two to three major bursts of integrated activity each year. You will shape and lead each activation end-to-end, from brief and strategic development through creative and media planning, approvals, launch, optimisation and evaluation.
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.
Bringing exceptional programme management, creative judgement and media fluency, you will lead agency partners and cross-functional teams to deliver distinctive activity on time, on budget and against agreed outcomes. You will also help shape and deliver the consumer activation pilot, applying insight and learning to strengthen future activity.
Key responsibilities
- Own the consumer brand activation and content plan, translating agreed priorities into two to three integrated activation programmes and a consumer activation pilot, with clear objectives, success measures and learning applied to future activity.
- Lead each activation end-to-end, connecting audience insight, creative strategy, media and channel planning across paid, owned and earned activity to deliver distinctive work against agreed outcomes.
- Lead agencies, cross-functional teams and stakeholders, setting clear briefs and creative standards, constructively challenging recommendations and creating alignment, pace and accountability throughout delivery.
- Maintain strong programme and commercial discipline, managing timelines, budgets, investment, governance, dependencies, risks and approvals while using performance insight to optimise activity and inform future decisions
