The Role
Embedded at the crossroads of technology, entertainment, sport, and modern culture, this Senior Social Strategist will shape the social presence of two dynamic brands:
- Our flagship AI platform – guided by a challenger brand ethos, disrupting conventional creativity at the frontier of generative AI.
- Pixel – a lifestyle hardware brand redefining its identity through pop culture, major sponsorships (e.g., Love Island, Arsenal, Liverpool FC, England National Team), and community-driven engagement.
This position demands: ✔ Reflexive agility marries strategic vision with hands-on execution ✔ Original thinking over incremental tactics ✔ Tech-savvy disruptor who operates at the intersection of AI and hyper-volatile digital cultures
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.
Responsibilities & Expectations
1. Disruptive Channel Architecture
- Translate brand visions and sponsorship campaigns into platform-specific social strategies across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram
- Break industry norms by reimagining format, timing, and engagement tactics—always innovating over duplicating
2. Agile Creative & PR Partnership

- Infuse social content into earned media narratives, positioning brands as thought leaders
3. Challenger Creator Ecosystem
- Cultivate an elite network of creators, cultural figures, tech innovators, and athletes

4. Live-Driven Cultural Creativity
- Proactively spot real-time cultural moments (e.g., Love Island, sports fixtures)
- Execute hyper-responsive tactical shifts on live social feeds
Who You Are
This is not for pencils-and-paper strategists. Expect a hands-on maverick with the following traits:
- "Do more than talk" mindset – Enthusiastic for the art of execution, from ideation to last-mile engagement
- Native social energies – Thrives on algorithms, flatmates healthy attachment to Reels, threads, and trends
- Challenger DNA – Philosophically rejects marketplace conformism; seeks to rewrite rules rather than play it safe
- Tech whisperer – No mere “enthusiast” here. You experiment daily with AI, experimenting with new creative forms and workflows
