Initial 2 month contract - ASAP start
Looking for a Lead Product Designer to join a consumer fintech team working on a couple of ambitious zero-to-one initiatives.
The work will likely focus either on rethinking the web experience for a product that has historically been mobile-first, or on exploring how consumer financial products may evolve as interfaces become more conversational, context-aware and less dependent on traditional navigation patterns.
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.
