The Role: Senior Copywriter

We’re looking for a senior writer, to work on one of the world’s leading car groups – covering a range of brands on their roster.

The ideal candidate needs to be a conceptually sound creative with a history of big ideas. A specialist in copywriting who has worked through the line, and is not afraid to get stuck in at the lower end of the funnel.

The day-to-day ask is to work on developing standout copy for a range of CRM communications – Direct Mail, Email, SMS, MMS, and digital & social.

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.
