Job Title: Junior Product Designer
Location: London
Work Policy: Hybrid (predominantly remote with London office)
Salary: £35,000–£40,000
Benefits: Benefits package, details on application
About the Role
You want your early product design career to come with real autonomy, not just tweaking UI on the margins. As a Product Designer, you’ll shape the experience of a flagship geospatial planning tool already used across the UK power market, with genuine ownership from day one. You will join an award-winning energy-tech scale-up whose platform helps cities and utilities plan low-carbon infrastructure.
What You'll Do
- Own end-to-end design for core product features, from understanding user needs through to high-fidelity Figma designs ready for developers.
- Run user research and usability testing with a range of stakeholders, turning feedback into clear improvements across complex, data-heavy workflows.
- Create wireframes and clickable prototypes in Figma that bring concepts to life for product managers, engineers and clients.
- Take charge of the Figma design library and broader design system, organising what exists and building a more structured, easy-to-navigate set of components.
- Monitor competitor UX and UI patterns so your design decisions are grounded in best practice and the wider product landscape.
- Work closely with product owners and developers to refine requirements, support backlog grooming and ensure what ships matches the intended user experience.
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 You'll Bring
- HCI degree or User Experience degree.
- Strong proficiency in Figma, with examples of turning ideas into clear flows, prototypes and polished interfaces.
- A bachelor’s degree, ideally in a technical, design or product-related field, and clear evidence of critical thinking and structured problem solving.
- Have a portfolio, academic, internship, personal or professional, that walks through your design process; B2B or complex tool examples are a real bonus.
- You communicate clearly and show cognitive empathy when switching between conversations with developers, data specialists, commercial teams and end users.
- Proactive and organised, comfortable working in a small startup where not every task is predefined and you enjoy taking responsibility.
- Exposure to user research or usability testing, agile ways of working (e.g. Jira), or an interest in energy, infrastructure or geospatial products.
- You must include a portfolio, applications without one cannot progress to interview.
