🚨 NEW ROLE
Creative Design Manager
City of London
Up to ÂŁ85k + exceptional benefits
If you’re a senior designer who’s ready to step into a role where you can lead, create and genuinely shape the creative offering, this could be one to take a closer look at…
I’m working with a high-profile US law firm who are looking for a talented Creative Design Manager to join their London team on a permanent basis.
And this isn’t your typical “keep things ticking over” design management role…
✨ This is a brand-new position for the London office, giving you the opportunity to build and lead the UK design offering while working closely with designers across the firm’s US offices.
You’ll be a hands-on creative leader, managing a small team while still getting stuck into the work yourself. From sophisticated pitch and marketing materials to digital communications, presentations, brand projects and client-facing collateral, you’ll have plenty of variety and the chance to produce work for some very high-profile audiences.
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.
You’ll work closely with the Associate Director of Brand & Creative, helping shape creative direction and ensuring the firm’s visual communications are consistently polished, considered and on brand.
