- Connect with startups — we've made the job hunt a two-way street. You'll apply to roles and receive inbound interest from startups who want to speak to you.
- Interview support — access comprehensive training guides, receive individual interview support, and chat to Jumpstart alumni about their interview advice.

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.
On average, it takes ~4–6 weeks to land a role and you can participate in the programme whilst in full-time work.
The roles
The exact role depends on the startup, but as an early marketing hire you'll work closely with founders, have real budget ownership, and move fast. Expect to get stuck into everything from paid campaigns to product launches to SEO to email flows — strategy and execution, hand-in-hand.
Common roles on our marketing stream include:
- Generalist Marketing - work across all areas of marketing and shape the strategy from the ground up.
- Growth Marketing - use data and experimentation to identify and scale the highest-impact acquisition channels.
- Performance Marketing - own paid campaigns across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok and drive measurable revenue growth.
- Content Marketing - produce standalone assets that build brand and drive demand: website copy, ad creative, video, newsletters, blogs, and brand design.
- Social Media Marketing - own and grow social channels across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X; plan and publish content, run paid social, and build community.
- AI Marketing - build AI into the marketing stack itself; use agents, LLMs, and automation to unlock growth at scale.
