🚨 Contract Opportunity – Interim Head of UX / Head of Product Design
💰 £500–£600 per day | Outside IR35
📍 Remote UK | 1 day onsite per month
⏳ 6-month contract | ASAP start
🔐 BPSS clearance required (held or eligible)
I'm looking for an Interim Head of UX or Head of Product Design to join a leading digital agency on an initial 6-month contract.
I'm also open to speaking with strong Principal or Lead UX / Product Designers who have the right mix of hands-on experience, client leadership and team management.
This is a great opportunity for someone who loves being hands-on with design but is equally comfortable leading teams, managing senior stakeholders and getting involved in new business. The business is continuing its shift from traditional UX into a more product-led design approach, so we're looking for someone who can help drive that forward whilst delivering great work for clients.
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

- Supporting pitches, proposals and new business opportunities.
- Providing day-to-day leadership, mentoring and support to an established design team.
What I'm looking for:
- Experience at Head of UX, Head of Product Design, Principal or Lead level.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating hands-on product design and digital experience work.
- Agency or consultancy background, ideally with public sector or government experience.
- Confident communicator who's comfortable presenting to clients and contributing to pitches.
- Previous experience managing or mentoring designers.
- Someone who understands the move from UX into product design and can bring that mindset to the team.
- Available to start within the next 3 weeks.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The key requirement is someone who can operate at Head of level but still enjoys being hands-on. This isn't a purely strategic or people management role. You'll be heavily involved in delivering design work, whilst providing leadership and direction to the wider team.
