Job Summary
This is a platform-side trade marketing role focused on category growth, rather than brand-side marketing. The role owns end-to-end trade marketing strategy and operation for our EMEA toy and consumer goods category. You will build category trade rules, design merchant incentive mechanisms, manage category TPM budget, and launch platform-level category campaigns to drive category GMV expansion, merchant activity improvement and sustainable ecosystem growth across EMEA markets.
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.
