Role Purpose
Open Partners is a fast-growing, independent agency that puts innovation at the heart of everything we do, a commitment that has seen us named in The Times 100 Fastest Growing Independent Businesses for two years running.
We are now looking for a motivated and ambitious Social Project Manager to join us at the start of an exciting new agency function. Supporting our Senior Lead on a high-impact pilot for a travel client, you will play a vital role in the coordination and execution of the programme.
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn how to manage social media at scale and help build a new department from the ground up within one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK. For a digital native with a passion for Social Media and travel, there is no better place to accelerate your career.
This is a 6-month temp-to-perm role focused on proving the scalability of our proprietary social model.
Your Impact
- You will transform raw travel expertise into structured data, ensuring the "Central Content Engine" runs without friction.
- By forensically monitoring engagement, you will capture "warm leads" and translate social interactions into tangible business opportunities for the client.
- You will act as the final line of defense for quality, managing approval workflows so that every piece of content is verified and brand-aligned.
- Your meticulous tagging and reporting will provide the evidence needed for the final pilot report, directly influencing the decision to scale the programme.
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.
