Exhibition Designer, 3D & Experiential
Salary: £40,000 - £45,000 DOE
Location: London, hybrid, 3 days in studio
Contract: Permanent, with potential to start freelance
I'm working with a forward thinking, highly ambitious independent exhibition stand design and brand experience agency looking for a talented Exhibition Designer to join their London team.
We're looking for a designer with strong exhibition experience and a genuinely design-led, experiential portfolio. Creative quality is really important here. This isn't about straightforward system stands, but creating considered, engaging branded environments with a strong spatial and visual idea behind them.
You'll work across exhibitions, trade shows, events and experiential spaces, taking projects from initial concept and visualisation through to something that actually gets built.
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.
