Behavioural Designer — Behavioural Science Consultancy
London (Hybrid) | Permanent
Our client is one of the UK's most respected behavioural science consultancies — recognised by the Financial Times for three consecutive years and trusted by major brands across financial services, retail, FMCG, travel and utilities to design interventions that measurably shift behaviour. They work at a genuinely rare intersection: rigorous behavioural science, applied through high-quality design, at commercial scale. This isn't a team doing light BeSci decoration on top of standard UX. The behavioural thinking and the design craft are inseparable — and that's what makes the work distinctive.
The role
As a Behavioural Designer, you'll work directly on client projects — translating behavioural research and BeSci frameworks into designed interventions that actually change what people do. That means working across communications, UX, physical environments and service experiences, applying proprietary neurodesign frameworks and a deep bias bank to produce polished, multi-touchpoint outputs. You'll be supported by a team of behavioural scientists and designers who take the quality of their work seriously. You'll also be expected to bring your own perspective — on the brief, on the behaviour, and on the best way to design for it.
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.
What we're looking for
You don't need to have been doing this for a decade. What matters is that the BeSci and the design craft are both genuinely present — even if you're earlier in your career. We're open to candidates with as little as one to two years of relevant experience, provided the fundamentals are there. Specifically, we're looking for:
- A grounding in behavioural science — whether through a psychology, cognitive science or behavioural economics degree, or through applied experience working with BeSci frameworks
- Hands-on design execution capability — you can produce client-ready outputs in Figma and/or Adobe Creative Suite independently
- Some exposure to client-facing work, or a clear appetite for it — this team presents and defends their work directly with senior stakeholders at major brands
- Curiosity, rigour and a genuine interest in why people behave the way they do

What you'll get
You'll be working on genuinely complex briefs for household-name clients, within a team that has built one of the most credible BeSci practices in the UK. There is real opportunity to develop your framework knowledge, your design craft, and your commercial skills in parallel — in an environment where all three are taken seriously. London-based, hybrid working. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
