Midweight Designer - Brand & Packaging
We're on the hunt for a Midweight Designer to join the fight at Black Eye Project in Sheffield. We're a small independent agency working across branding, packaging, advertising and digital - and we're looking for someone with great ideas, sharp instincts, and a genuine love of making good work. Packaging is a big part of what we do, so solid packaging experience is a must. But this role won't keep you in one corner, you'll work across everything from building new brands and packaging from scratch to shaping ad campaigns, digital content and existing identities.
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.
