£300+ per day | Remote / Manchester | Immediate Start | Contract until 18 December 2026
We're working with a leading integrated marketing agency looking for an experienced PPC specialist to provide immediate freelance support across a portfolio of established client accounts.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who combines strong technical paid search expertise with the confidence to manage client relationships, contribute to strategy and take genuine ownership of campaign performance.
You'll be joining an established media operation, working alongside an experienced team during an initial handover period, with the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as the contract progresses.
The opportunity
You'll be responsible for the hands-on management, optimisation and development of PPC campaigns across several high-profile accounts, spanning sectors including property, sport and entertainment.
Working closely with the wider media and creative teams, you'll help ensure campaigns are performing effectively while providing clients with the insight, recommendations and confidence they need.
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.

What we're looking for

We're particularly interested in people who can demonstrate:
- Advanced knowledge of Google Ads and strong familiarity with Microsoft Ads.
- Proven experience managing and optimising PPC campaigns across multiple accounts.
