About the Agency
A full-service social and creative agency working across music, culture, and entertainment, helping artists, brands, labels, and festivals grow loyal online communities through storytelling and culture-first creativity.
The team believes great social isn't about selling - it's about building genuine connections between fans and the brands they love.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Social Media Specialist to lead the day-to-day running of client accounts within a collaborative "pod" structure.
You'll manage client communication, oversee social specialists, and work closely with strategists and creatives to deliver engaging, high-impact social campaigns across some of the biggest names in music and culture.
This role blends hands-on content planning with client management, mentoring, and creative thinking - perfect for someone ready to take the next step towards leadership.
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.

- Lead day-to-day client management and communications.
- Manage 1-2 Social Media Specialists, reviewing and approving their weekly output.
- Oversee feedback and amends to ensure delivery excellence.
- Coordinate with strategists and designers to brief and deliver creative assets.
- Join client calls, summarise actions, and ensure smooth follow-up.
- Spot and pitch reactive opportunities that fit client tone and strategy.
- Maintain organisation and project management within your pod.
- Analyse content performance and apply insights to future output.
- Step in for the Account Director when needed.
