Salary: Competitive, pro-rata and dependent on experience
THE OPPORTUNITY
TRI-FIT is looking for a talented, organised and proactive person to help us develop and grow TRI-FIT Custom Lab.
This isn't simply a graphic design job.
Design is a major part of it, but we're looking for someone who can take ownership of the entire Custom Lab customer journey: speaking to customers, understanding what they want, creating the designs, keeping projects organised, managing deadlines and helping get the finished product into production.
Beyond individual orders, we want you to help us make Custom Lab better.
That means developing our teamwear offering, helping build our product catalogue and pricing structure, improving how Custom Lab is presented online and finding better ways to make this part of TRI-FIT scalable.
For the right person, there's an opportunity to grow alongside it and take increasing ownership of Custom Lab as the business develops.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Customers and projects
- Run discovery calls (about 20 minutes) and record each brief on a standard template.
- Take customers through concepts, capped revisions and sign-off on front, back, side and 3D renders.
- Keep customers updated at every stage and manage several orders at once.
- Work back from race dates and lead times, and flag at-risk orders to the founder.
- Liaise with the factory on artwork.
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.
Design and production

Developing Custom Lab
- Build a library of templates, colourways and approved design elements.
- Help build the Custom Lab catalogue and propose options and pricing for founder sign-off.
- Develop team ranges for clubs, teams, businesses and organisations.
- Help build the Custom Lab website section, with galleries and case studies.
- Supply renders and photos to the Brand & Marketing Lead, and help with occasional graphics.
- Find ways to make Custom Lab easier to buy, manage and scale.
