About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced Digital Design Lead to take a leading role across a broad mix of digital, brand, retail and experience-led projects.
You’ll be joining a highly creative agency where digital sits alongside wider brand and physical experiences, giving you the opportunity to shape ambitious, joined-up work across multiple platforms and touchpoints.
This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can help set the creative direction, lead projects from the front and maintain a consistently high standard of work from initial concept through to final delivery.
You’ll work closely with strategy, client services, UX, developers, and production teams, turning complex briefs into clear, compelling and beautifully crafted creative solutions.
A key part of the role will be supporting and developing the wider design team. You’ll provide creative direction, mentor designers at different levels and help create a collaborative environment where strong ideas and high standards can thrive.
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 also be confident presenting to clients, leading workshops and pitches, challenging thinking where needed and building trusted relationships throughout the creative process.
Responsibilities
The role will include:
- Leading digital, brand, and experience-led design projects
- Helping shape the creative direction across a range of briefs
- Reviewing work and maintaining a consistently high level of craft
- Mentoring and supporting designers across the team
- Translating strategy and insight into strong creative ideas
- Presenting work to clients and contributing to workshops and pitches
- Working closely with UX, UI, development, strategy, and production teams
- Managing multiple projects while protecting the quality of the work
- Contributing to the wider creative culture of the agency

Requirements

Opportunity
A great opportunity for a senior digital designer or existing design lead looking for more creative ownership, responsibility, and the chance to influence ambitious work within a genuinely ideas-led agency.
