Senior Programme Manager / Project Manager | Top Agency Client 3-month contract | Inside IR35 | £400-£450 per day Central London, Zone 1 | Hybrid: 3 days in office, 2 days from home
I'm partnering with a top agency client on an exciting opportunity for a delivery-led Senior Programme Manager / Project Manager to join a complex, high-profile environment where no two programmes are the same.
This is a role for someone who can move comfortably between integrated marketing delivery - bringing structure, governance and calm leadership to complex workstreams and senior stakeholders.
The Role
You'll lead large-scale, cross-functional programmes spanning areas such as:
- Integrated campaigns across Digital, Social, CRM, OOH, BVOD and ABM
- Go-to-market launches and partner onboarding
- Digital platform rollouts
- Operational transformation and process improvement
- New ways of working, governance and delivery models
- Multiple concurrent workstreams, dependencies and delivery roadmaps
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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be responsible for bringing the right people together, creating clarity across complex programmes and ensuring delivery stays on track - managing budgets, resources, risks, dependencies, timelines and senior stakeholder expectations along the way.

- A strong track record delivering integrated marketing campaigns
- Excellent senior-level client and stakeholder management skills
