Working on a range of high-end, bespoke projects, you’ll play a key role in delivering exceptional design from concept through to completion, bringing creativity, precision, and commercial awareness to every stage.

About the Role

In this role, you will be responsible for leading the delivery of luxury interior design projects, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.

You will:

  • Create and oversee high-quality design packages, including technical drawings and specifications
  • Present and communicate design concepts confidently to clients and stakeholders
  • Manage project timelines, budgets, and deliverables to meet commercial targets
  • Collaborate with procurement to ensure products are specified accurately and delivered on time
  • Conduct site visits to maintain design integrity and quality standards
  • Oversee bespoke design elements, including FF&E and joinery
  • Mentor junior designers, providing guidance and feedback to support their development

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.
