Read transcript: Rob on why people join Propel
Hi, I’m Rob, co-founder of Propel. Here’s why I think Propel is a fantastic place to work.
Flexibility has always been at the core of our culture. So I set up the business after being totally disillusioned with working 9-to-5 in London with a 2-hour commute both ways. And around the time my first son was born, I decided to build an agency where people could fit their work around their lives, not the other way around.
In practice, we spend one day a week together in the office in London and the rest of the week is kind of on you to work where you want, how you want, as long as you’re keeping your clients happy. We trust our people on this implicitly from day one.
It’s a really exciting time to join because we’ve grown more than 40% every year since the business was founded and 41% of our team have had promotions in the last 12 months. Everyone gets their pay reviewed every 6 months and everyone has had a pay rise above inflation in the last year.
You’ll also work alongside our AI agent, Max, who takes the boring, repetitive work off of your plate. So you’ve got way more time to think, solve problems and build fantastic client relationships. We see AI as a tool to elevate people, not replace them.
So if you want to deliver great results for clients and care about the route to getting there, take a look at our open roles and I look forward to meeting you through the application process.
You’ll need to be around when our clients are online and available to speak to them when they need you. Around that, how you plan your week is up to you. Want to work longer on a Thursday so you can finish early on a Friday? That’s fine.

How we work
The agency of the future, where AI and people thrive together
We’re at the forefront of AI in paid media, and we see it as a tool that makes people more capable, never a replacement.
Performance marketing is changing. Automation is taking care of more of the manual work, and the platforms are increasingly making their own decisions. But getting the best out of them still requires people who understand the business behind the advertising.
That’s why we’ve built Max, our own AI agent that continuously analyses accounts, identifies opportunities, and brings important information to the surface.
Read transcript: 1-minute Max explainer
This is Max, our AI agent. We built it in-house and trained it on the way that we’ve managed Google and Meta ads accounts for years.
Max is a web app that you can log into and has access to all of our accounts, all of our data, and all of the historical knowledge that is relevant to managing our clients’ accounts as effectively as possible. Max has a brain, which is where all the knowledge is stored. There’s a chat function where you can speak to him and generate insights in seconds. There are project management features which keeps everybody honest to their deadlines. And most importantly, many bespoke features that make managing performance marketing campaigns easier than ever before.
Max takes away the repetitive work, so you can spend your time thinking about your clients’ problems and working out solutions. Max’s sole purpose is to make our clients happy by generating better results and saving our people time.
And for us, AI is about how we empower our team and grow it. It makes people better at their jobs and, most importantly, it doesn’t replace them.
- Use our own agentic AI system every day on real client work.
- Help shape what we build next, and access AI tools that make you more productive.
Why Propel?
More than just managing campaigns.
The best performance marketing comes from understanding what drives a business. That’s how we approach our clients’ accounts, and it’s how we approach the work we do as a team.
Work that makes a difference
Our work goes beyond clicks, conversions, and platform metrics. We look at the commercial factors that actually drive business performance, from customer value and profitability to lead quality and growth. You’ll be working on challenges that require genuine thought, not just following a checklist.
Learn from people who know their stuff
You’ll work alongside veteran performance marketers who understand the platforms, the data, and the commercial decisions behind them. We value good thinking, sharing knowledge and challenging the status quo. There is plenty of opportunity to develop your skills and take on more responsibility.
Full ownership of client relationships
Own a portfolio end to end, from strategy and budget to optimisation, reporting, client calls and quarterly reviews. You’ll work across the full breadth of an account, not in a narrow silo.
Clients you’ll work with
Long-term partners, not quick projects.
