Strategic Growth Manager
Salary: £35,000–£40,000 base + £15,000 OTE Location: Manchester (Hybrid) Employment Type: Permanent
Why This Role Stands Out
This is more than a standard job—it’s a founding role within a groundbreaking engagement-led growth function, built with direct support from the VP Marketing, VP Sales, and CEO, with a clear strategic path to expand into a dedicated team as it proves successful.
- Sell with creativity, not volume – Employ curated dining experiences, executive roundtables, private workshops, and bluntly impactful direct mail instead of generic cold emails.
- Leverage unparalleled insights – The business operates the world’s largest, longest-running dataset on the family economy, giving unrivalled access to stakeholders at global brands, including those you’ll engage with in this role.
The Role in Detail
This isn’t a high-volume ** Sales Development Representative** (SDR) role repackaged. Instead, you’ll focus on high-value relationship-building with senior stakeholders at brands like Disney, Lego, and Warner.
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.
-
Own targeted accounts – Work with named stakeholders in each account, mapping decision-makers and tailoring creative engagement strategies:
- Private dining events
- Strategic account roundtables
- Curated direct mail pieces
- Data-backed, value-led webinars
-
Collaborate across teams – Partner with Insights and Content to distil raw data into compelling hooks for tailored outreach, then take ownership from initial engagement to sales handoff:
- Track every touch through an engagement points system in the CRM for full transparency and repeatability.
- Ensure each interaction feels personal—not automated.
The Business Context
Since 2017, this business has been pioneering the global family economy, leveraging a continuous, independent dataset spanning 800,000+ respondents annually across 22 markets. Clients—many defining childhood media, entertainment, toys, licensing, and advertising—use this evidence to drive multi-billion dollar decisions.

What You Bring
- Proven, imaginative engagement – You craft one unforgettable interaction, not 500 mindless emails.
- Sharpened commercial instinct – Comfortable owning targets and discovering new opportunities creatively.
- Senior-level acuity – Polished communication skills for emails, calls, and face-to-face experiences.
- Multitasking sophistication – Capable of running live campaigns and maintaining a full portfolio simultaneously.
- Relevant experience – At least 2+ years in demand generation, field/project marketing, Account-Based Marketing (ABM), partnerships, or a creative SDR/BDR background: titles matter less than results.
