Midweight Paid Social Designer Role
Salary: £40,000 (Potentially slightly more depending on experience)
Location: Central London
Working pattern: Hybrid — 2 days per week in the studio (Weds, Thurs)
Also open to a Freelance position as well as a permanent role
The Opportunity
I’m recruiting for a Midweight Paid Social Designer to join an established, employee-owned creative studio working with a roster of global consumer brands. This is a great opportunity for a designer who is conceptually strong, culturally switched-on and passionate about social-first creative. You’ll have sharp visual taste and a strong understanding of what resonates with modern, Gen Z-aware audiences.
The Role
You’ll develop standout paid social creative from brief through to completion, working across static, interactive and motion formats. You’ll be responsible for:
- Developing creative for paid social and digital advertising.
- Creating static and interactive assets, including collage and editorial-style work.
- Producing video content, from simple cutdowns to more technical executions such as rotoscoping.
- Creating on-brand lifestyle assets using GenAI tools.
- Managing multiple brands and projects to tight deadlines.
- Working closely with Creative Leads and client stakeholders.
- Taking feedback well and contributing positively to the wider studio.
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.
