Footwear Designer – Kids’ Character & Lifestyle Product

We’re looking for a talented Footwear Designer with a strong commercial background and a distinctive illustrative, character-led handwriting.

The ideal candidate will have experience designing commercially successful footwear for retail, combined with strong 3D design thinking, illustration and character development skills. You’ll be confident translating creative concepts into exciting, commercially relevant products and will understand how to balance trend, innovation and customer appeal.

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.
