Ready to Do Work You're Proud Of?
Charlie Oscar isn't a typical agency. We're independent, AI-native, and built to help ambitious brands outmanoeuvre, outpace and outgrow the competition.
We blend data science with creativity - not because it's fashionable, but because it's how brands actually grow. The numbers give us clarity. The creative work is what wins hearts, builds brands, and drives revenue.
Every week here looks different: sharp strategic problems, high-calibre teammates, and real ownership over work that reaches some of the world's most ambitious brands. Outside the day job, there's run club, book and chess clubs, charity fundraisers, Thursday drinks, and enough team socials that work never feels like just work.
We hire for attitude and culture add first - not just experience. Curious, ambitious people who challenge how things are done, bring fresh ideas, and help shape the future of marketing.
Sound like your kind of place?
Who We Hire
We look for attitude first. Smart, humble, proactive, genuinely curious - that's the shortlist. People who care about their craft without taking themselves too seriously. We build brave ideas, keep learning constant, and make sure everyone's voice counts.
If you're already using AI to work smarter, even better.
AI
We're looking for people who use AI to sharpen their work - not replace their thinking.
You don't need to be an AI specialist. You need to be curious enough to already be finding ways to use it: faster workflows, sharper insight, better creative options, smarter decisions. We want people who ask “how can this be better?” and treat AI as a tool to elevate the craft, not a shortcut around it.
The Role
You'll run client relationships, reporting into the Client Strategy Lead. You'll work with our paid media, creative and marketing science teams to set strategy and deliver commercial results for high-paced brands across verticals such as travel, retail and e-commerce.
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.
What You'll Be Getting Stuck Into
- Own the client relationship. You’ll be the go-to point of contact for senior business leaders, and be confident running everything from weekly status meetings to presenting QBRs to C-suite stakeholders.
- Lead delivery for key clients, seamlessly coordinating across teams to produce performance reports, analyses and presentations you’re proud of.
- You’ll build a deep understanding of COmpass, our proprietary measurement solution. You’ll collaborate with the marketing science team to translate technical findings into actionable recommendations.

What We're Looking For
Must Haves
- You have strong digital performance experience, ideally across e-commerce, retail or subscription brands within agency or in-house environments.
- You have high literacy across paid media channels. You don’t need to have run Meta, Google or TikTok hands-on, but you know them well enough to get the best out of the specialists who do.
- You adapt how you communicate to the audience, so a CMO and an in-house creative team always know what we’re recommending and what happens next.
- You can take findings from media, creative and data and build one clear story from them.
- You can run projects seamlessly, keeping your own work and the wider team’s deliverables on track without quality dropping.
- You’re already using AI to automate your own repeatable tasks.
