The Role

Strategy Director – Integrated & CX - immediate start

Our client needs a passionate and dynamic Strategy Director for a 6-month FTC and another to work on a CRM/CX client on a temp to perm basis. Clients are in the travel and FS realm. You will be expected to deliver autonomously and have the gravitas to shape strategies with their most senior clients.

You will:

  • Lead strategy across assigned accounts, ensuring channel-specific and cross-channel thinking stay joined up.
  • Shape integrated comms plans across social and VOD, extending into OOH and TV where the brief calls for it.
  • Own and evolve CRM programmes and customer journeys, using data to identify opportunities and prioritise interventions.
  • Present strategic recommendations to clients with clarity and confidence.
  • Act as the senior strategic point of contact across accounts.
  • Partner with clients to understand business goals, customer needs, and competitive landscape.
  • Build trusted relationships quickly.
  • Partner closely with the wider agency, bringing brand planning fluency to joint conversations and sharing CRM best practice.

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.
