Job Title: Senior Creative Strategist @ High-Growth Challenger Brand
Location: Central London (Hybrid)
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 DOE
A fast-growing, challenger consumer brand is looking for a Senior Creative Strategist to take ownership of one of their performance creative pods, setting the standard for quality and mentoring the strategists around them.
The business has built a genuine reputation for producing some of the best-performing DTC creative in the UK, and this is a leadership role for someone who's already excellent at making performance creative and is ready to multiply that impact through others. You'll combine hands-on creative output with real ownership of a pod's direction, quality and output, working closely with a highly experienced growth team on ad content across Meta.
If you're a natural leader and storyteller, obsessive about craft, and excited by the challenge of making scroll-stopping ads while developing the people around you, this is a standout opportunity.
Key Responsibilities
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.
