We're an award-winning, global, tech-enabled behavioural science consultancy on a mission to make businesses as human as humanly possible. Data-Driven Behavioural Design. Fuelled by AI.
The Role
At Cowry, you’re a behavioural scientist and a consultant first and foremost. This means in addition to your behavioural design responsibilities, you’ll be expected to be involved in projects from start to finish, and responsible for specific outputs and sections of the process beyond just design. You’ll work closely with your multi-disciplinary team to conduct research, develop creative & innovative solutions and run experiments.
Within the primary Behavioural Design function of your role, you’ll lead the application of behavioural design across client projects, translating behavioural science into impactful, real-world interventions. You will be responsible for consistently delivering high-quality design solutions across a variety of touchpoints, while also pushing the boundaries of how behavioural design is applied. This includes developing new approaches, contributing to frameworks, and elevating the design capability of the wider team.
Duties and Responsibilities
Quality of Thinking & Output
- Take ownership of the timely delivery of high-quality behavioural design work across projects
- Lead on key parts of client deliverables, ensuring outputs are both conceptually strong and commercially effective
- Translate behavioural insights into clear, compelling, and well-crafted design solutions
Behavioural Science Expertise
- Apply behavioural design principles to design across multiple touchpoints, including communications, UX, physical environments, and service experiences
- Develop new ways of applying behavioural design within client work, pushing beyond standard approaches
- Continuously expand your design skillset, including areas such as AI, prototyping, and motion/animation
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.
