Job Description

This is a wonderful opportunity for a graduate or first/second jobber, with very strong writing skills, looking for a business-focused career in the advertising and marketing industry.

Rainmaker helps leading advertising and marketing agencies engage with and win the clients they most want to have. Our team does this by identifying the business challenges at brands like Netflix, TikTok, Vinted, PlayStation, Depop, Uniqlo, Nike, Canada Goose, Monzo, and Estée Lauder etc. We then work-up a written pitch setting out how our client would solve their challenges and manage the responses while liaising with our clients.

We’re known to be the best at what we do, and this role offers direct exposure to the senior teams at a wide variety of marketing agencies and their strategic growth challenges. We work from our fantastic Fora offices in London’s buzzy Shoreditch Mondays to Thursdays, and with hybrid working on Fridays.

The role primarily involves both researching and analysing the challenges your clients’ selected brands face, then creating written outreach to them on their behalf. You’ll need a good grasp of how brands and business operate in the real world, plus exemplary written English language skills to articulate your ideas rapidly, expressively, and accurately - even when under pressure to meet deadlines.

THE ROLE IN MORE DETAIL

Research, using our information and data platforms, collaborating with colleagues on the analysis, then reaching out via email with your pitch to the most relevant brand director with the aim of helping our client connect with them.
