Senior User Researcher | Remote first: West Yorkshire | Salary up to £70k + bonus

If you thrive in collaborative environments, bring positive energy to your work and enjoy influencing without ego I could have the role for you.

I'm looking for a Senior User Researcher to join a growing and ambitious User-Centred Design (UCD) practice!

You’ll be involved in impactful user research across complex programmes in the public and private sectors, working in agile, multidisciplinary teams and collaborating closely with clients and delivery partners.

As a senior practitioner, you’ll play an active role in shaping UCD strategy and supporting the growth of the research community whilst remaining hands-on in delivery!

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys getting stuck in and working closely with smart, motivated people who genuinely care about doing the right thing for users!

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • A Great Place to Work–certified organisation, recognised for a high-trust, inclusive and supportive culture
  • A genuinely collaborative environment that values diversity, inclusion and different perspectives
  • Strong investment in learning, development and career progression, with opportunities to grow your skills and influence
  • A clear focus on well-being, with support for mental health, balance and sustainable ways of working
  • The chance to work on high-impact public sector programmes, designing services that affect millions of people
  • A flexible, remote-first working culture that trusts you to do your best work

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.
