- You give feedback that builds clarity and confidence, and you’re present in critiques, rituals and reviews.
- You lift the work, and the people who make it.
Leadership & mentoring
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 mentor juniors through your feedback, your clarity and your consistency.
- You know when to support, when to stretch and how to model great leadership behaviours.
- You create space for others to grow while staying accountable for the outcomes.
Commercial acumen
- You understand how to manage your time and creative ambition within the scope of the project.
- You protect the integrity of the work by staying aware of budgets, timelines and value.
- You contribute to resourcing conversations and help manage external contributors with efficiency and care.
WHAT THIS ROLE LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
EXPERIENCE
Ideally we're looking for 5+ years of 3D structural design within a creative agency.
LOCATION AND FLEXIBILITY
This is a full-time, hybrid role ideally based in our Tunbridge Wells studio with 2 days from home, although we will consider applications for our London studio and can discuss part-time options.
WHY WORK WITH US?
What makes JDO special is how we work together. We value conviction without ego, generosity without fuss and craft that holds up in the detail. You’ll be encouraged to bring your point of view, ask better questions, learn from talented people around you and keep developing your voice.
We’re proud to have been named Creativepool’s Best Agency to Work For in both 2024 and 2025. That recognition matters to us because it reflects the kind of place we are building: high standards, real collaboration and a team that shows up for each other.
Alongside a competitive salary, we offer benefits that support rest, wellbeing, creativity and life outside work, including Fri-yays, where our studios close on the last Friday of most months, a day off on your birthday, end-of-year studio closure, an Employee Assistance Programme and a workplace nursery scheme to help with the cost of childcare.
SOUNDS LIKE A FIT? LETS TALK.
If this role sounds like something you'd be great at, we’d love to talk. Please apply via the application form and we'll be in touch.
