We're Hiring! Senior 2D Animator / Producer
Remote (UK) | £35–45k Pro Rata DOE
We're looking for someone who loves making brilliant animation and enjoys taking the lead on bringing projects to life.
At Rival Animation, no two weeks are the same. One day you could be producing a fintech explainer, the next creating content for a theme park, and the next helping develop one of our own original IP projects.
From the first client conversation through to the final render, you'll help shape projects, manage production, keep clients happy and create animation we're all proud of. You'll also have the opportunity to contribute towards Rival's original IP and help shape the future of the studio.
We're hoping to find someone who'll become a long-term member of the Rival team. We start with a 6-month contract to make sure it's the right fit for both sides.
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.
