Founding Product Designer - AI EdTech
£120k–£140k + Equity | UK Remote
Teachers spend 10–15 hours a week planning lessons. The future is planning in minutes, not evenings.
I'm leading a search for a Founding Product Designer at an AI-native EdTech company reimagining how teachers work. Instead of generic content and hours of prep, teachers generate curriculum-aligned lessons, slides and worksheets in seconds - every resource tailored to their class.
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.
