Senior 2D Designer
Salary: up to £60,000 per annum, dependent on experience
Location: London
Working pattern: Hybrid (three days in the studio, two from home)
Software: Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign)
Sector: Retail Design, Brand Environments, and Experiential
About the Studio
This is an award-winning creative agency that lives where retail design, brand communications, and experiential environments meet. They make the kind of work you actually walk into: retail spaces, brand activations, campaign rollouts, and the connected experiences that make a brand feel present rather than just advertised.
Strategy, design, and production all sit close together here, which means ideas get pressure-tested early and executed properly rather than watered down on the way to delivery. There is a real focus on sports and lifestyle brands at the moment, so if you find yourself quietly fascinated by how brands earn a place in people's actual lives, you will be in good company.
It is a London studio with a reputation for ambitious thinking, high creative standards, and a culture built on trusting talented people to do their best work. The sort of place where the standard is set by the room, not by a process document.
About the Role
This is a Senior 2D Designer role inside a well-regarded creative team, working across retail, experiential, and brand communications projects. It is a step up in every sense: more ownership, more influence over the creative direction, and more of a say in what good actually looks like.
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.
You will lead the visual design that underpins high-profile projects, working shoulder to shoulder with 3D designers, strategists, and project teams from first concept through to the finished thing. You will also help bring on the designers around you, setting the bar through the work itself and through how you guide it.
If you are ready to move past executing someone else's vision and start shaping your own, with real client-facing responsibility and work that people experience in the real world, this one is worth a proper look.
Your Days Will Look Something Like This
- Lead 2D design across retail, experiential, and brand communications projects, from first concept to final delivery
- Set the creative direction on your projects and hold the standard across everything that leaves the studio
- Art-direct and mentor midweight and junior designers, bringing the best out of the people around you
- Work closely with 3D designers, strategists, and project teams to turn briefs into things people can walk into
- Take the lead in client presentations, articulating the thinking with clarity and confidence
- Own multiple live projects at once, keeping quality high when the pressure is on
- Shape workshops, brainstorms, and creative development sessions rather than just attending them
- Keep a finger on where sport, culture, retail, and visual communication are heading, and feed that back into the work
