If you’re a Junior Service Designer looking for a step up and want to work on meaningful, high-impact services used by millions of people, this is a role worth exploring.

We’re looking for an Associate Service Designer to support experience design across major public sector transformation programmes — bringing together research, strategy and service thinking to help design services that are simpler, smarter and more human.

You should apply if you’re excited by visible impact, complex problem-solving and the opportunity to keep building your service design career. You’ll work with experienced stakeholders and cross-functional teams, contribute to major programmes, and grow in a global organisation that invests in design, learning and progression.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you’ll support service design activity across discovery and delivery, helping clients understand user needs, map complex journeys and create services that work better for everyone.

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.
