The Opportunity
As a Senior Associate, you’ll take responsibility for several exceptional projects, leading each from concept through to completion across both interiors and FF&E.

You’ll oversee the designers responsible for day-to-day delivery, retaining accountability for the overall design, quality and successful outcome of each project.
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.
Alongside leading your own portfolio, you’ll work with the studio’s senior leadership team to maintain design standards across the practice. You’ll provide creative direction, contribute to design reviews and support the development of the wider team.
