Summary of our role

We’re looking for a Multi-Disciplinary Senior Designer to join our creative team. You will be given the opportunity to take ownership of design excellence across projects, ensuring every piece of work meets and exceeds client expectations. You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and play a role in shaping the visual direction of campaigns.

What you will be doing:

  • Collaborate with a variety of disciplines, both internally and externally, to develop design solutions.
  • Liaise with the client services team to determine project objectives, budget, background information, and presentation approaches, styles, and techniques.
  • Proactively suggest effective builds and edits of briefs using your understanding of the client, audience, and their needs.
  • Push the understanding of this by interrogating your juniors and proactively making suggestions for improvement.
  • Ability to show exceptional understanding of insights, target audiences, therapy area landscapes, brand benefits, communication objectives, and the idea outputs to proactively elevate the standard of work.
  • Take responsibility for the work you produce through to sign-off, ensuring it is completed to deadline, is of a high quality, demonstrating accuracy, attention to detail, and ownership.
  • Following internal and external meetings, guide the brief along with the client services team, helping them to get the best out of it.
  • Be able to produce accurate estimates, clearly communicating how long you think is required to complete a piece of work, supporting the Lead Designer in troubleshooting any possible challenges that may impact the smooth progression of the project.

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.
