About Jumpstart
The job hunting process is sh*t so we flipped it on its head. With Jumpstart, high-growth startup marketing roles find you.
If you're ready to own marketing strategy, lead campaigns, and genuinely shape a startup's growth, Jumpstart is for you.
How does it work?
- Top startup roles - get access to a curated list of marketing roles in the UK's most exciting startups. Hear back from your applications within days.
- Founders pitch to you - as a Jumpstarter once said, "you can't get vibes from a job description." Pre-recorded video pitches from founders bring roles & a startup to life so you can ensure it's a great fit.
- 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.
- Ongoing career growth - landing a role is only the start of your journey with Jumpstart. You'll join the Jumpstart community (the "best startup community in London") and gain access to all the tools you need to smash your role. Think mentorship, training & more.
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 role: editing the content
Exact scope depends on the startup, but you'll own post-production end-to-end, working closely with whoever's filming and the wider marketing team. On a typical week you might:
- Take raw footage - yours, a creator's, or a founder's phone clips and cut it into fast, scroll-stopping edits.
- Nail the details that make content actually perform: first-frame hooks, pacing, captions, sound design, a CTA that lands.
- Edit in Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects, or whatever gets you to a polished cut fastest.
- Cut multiple versions of the same footage so the team can test what wins.
- Keep a steady pipeline of edits moving without the quality dropping.
Depending on the startup you might also help shape shot lists before a shoot, even if you're not the one behind the camera.
