  • You’ll collaborate closely with Creative Directors, strategists, and writers to translate human insight into compelling ideas, and ideas into beautifully crafted outcomes.

  • Alongside delivering your own projects, you’ll mentor more junior designers and contribute to a culture that values candour, curiosity, and collaboration.

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.

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.

We’re looking for someone who understands that great design goes beyond decoration, that it’s creative problem-solving. Someone who can bring together words, image, motion, and experience to build brands that endure.

  • You’ll present work internally and to clients.
  • You’ll contribute to raising the bar for craft.
  • You’ll mentor midweight and junior designers.
  • You’ll bring positive energy to the team.
  • Above all, you’ll help create work that moves people, culturally, emotionally, and commercially.

About You

You are a senior-level designer with strong conceptual thinking and exceptional craft. Your portfolio demonstrates your ability to find a relevant human insight and translate it into a clear idea, expressed with confidence and personality. You move comfortably between identity systems, campaigns, and broader brand worlds, and you understand how to take work from concept through to delivery without losing its original intent.

  • You’re comfortable presenting and discussing your work, asking smart questions, and constructively challenging briefs to push the thinking further.
  • You respond well to feedback and know how to lead creatively without casting a shadow.
  • You care deeply about the quality of what you put into the world and you elevate the people around you in the process.
  • You are culturally aware, creatively ambitious, and motivated by the opportunity to create work that could be award-winning, but more importantly, work that genuinely connects.
  • Breadth of experience across international brands, challengers, or culturally relevant organizations is valuable, as is a curiosity about how brands show up in contemporary culture.
