We are looking for someone at the beginning of their career whose taste is already ahead of their experience.
About Collective
Collective is a London-born bike brand with a world that goes well beyond bikes. We have collaborated and created projects with Jordan Brand, Oakley, and Nike. We have produced campaigns and activations in London and Milan, brought bike life to FISE World Montpellier, and created One World One Wheel, which connected thousands of riders across five continents in a single day.
We are now building across the UK and Europe.
The Opportunity
The creative opportunity is broad:
- Campaigns
- New products
- Art direction
- Photography
- Film
- Collaborations
- Events
- Rider projects
- Brand identity
You will be involved when the idea is being formed, not brought in at the end to make the assets. You will work directly with the founder and with photographers, filmmakers, riders, collaborators, and brands. There is very little distance between an idea and something going live.
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We Are Looking For
For someone early in their career, that is the opportunity. We are not looking for a finished Art Director. We are looking for a very good designer with exceptional visual judgment and the potential to become one.
Your graphic design fundamentals need to be strong. Typography, composition, layout, and image selection matter. Photoshop and Illustrator should already feel comfortable. Some experience with photography, moving image, or editing is useful. It does not need to be advanced. Maybe you have experimented at university. Maybe you shoot your own projects. Maybe you have taught yourself.
Those skills can develop. The eye comes first.
You should have strong references, good instincts, and opinions about work. You should care about fashion, photography, film, music, design, and the wider culture around you. You should be able to look at something and understand why it works, or why it does not.

The Role
This could be your first Art Director role. The aim is to give the right person enough exposure, responsibility, and range to grow quickly into a genuinely multidisciplinary creative. The role is initially two to three days per week, so it can sit alongside your own practice, freelance work, or personal projects. For the right person, there is a real opportunity for it to become full-time.
What You Need to Do
Send us your portfolio and whatever else best represents your work.
Alongside your portfolio, send us three pieces of your own work that best represent you and three pieces of work by other people that you wish you had made.
No cover letter.
