About the Role
My client is looking for an experienced Senior Product Designer to take ownership of the design function within an ambitious, technology-led business.
This is a unique opportunity to shape how customers and users experience my client’s product, working closely with the founding team and engineering function.
You’ll take ideas from concept through to prototype and launch, with genuine ownership over the work you produce. This is a senior, strategic role that will manage another designer.
Senior Product Designer Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end design experience across multiple physical and digital product surfaces.
- Design intuitive customer experiences across payments, enrolment and access journeys.
- Define and develop a scalable design system, including tokens, components, and reusable patterns.
- Design merchant-facing portals and dashboards covering payments, analytics, and reporting.
- Own the design and development of my client’s website and wider digital presence.
- Help shape positioning and brand identity across every customer touchpoint.
- Rapidly prototype concepts and take them through to launch.
- Use AI as part of your day-to-day workflow to accelerate ideation, prototyping, and product development.
- Work closely with founders and engineers to balance customer needs, visual quality, and technical constraints.
- Establish strong design principles and processes as the product and wider business continue to grow.
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.

Ideal Senior Product Designer Profile
The ideal candidate will combine strong visual design instincts with a highly analytical, systems-led, and technical approach.
You’ll ideally have:
- 5+ years of experience in product design, ideally working across complex digital products or technology-led environments.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating products and experiences that you have personally taken from concept through to launch.
- A genuinely hands-on approach to product design, with a track record of shipping work rather than simply producing designs in Figma.
- Strong visual and creative instincts, with an excellent eye for detail and the ability to create polished digital experiences.
- A systems-thinking approach, with experience building or contributing to scalable design systems.
- Confidence working closely with engineers and understanding technical constraints.
- Experience using AI tools as part of your creative, prototyping, or product development workflow.
- The ability to operate autonomously, make decisions, and take ownership in a fast-moving environment.
- A degree in engineering, industrial design, or a related discipline would be advantageous, although equivalent experience and evidence of systems thinking will be considered.

Why Join?
You’ll have significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape the design function, product experience, and design principles as the business scales.
Your work won’t simply live in design files — it will become part of products used by real customers and businesses, giving you the opportunity to see your work move rapidly from concept into the real world.
You’ll work closely with the founders and engineering team, with the freedom to make a visible impact and help define the future direction of the product.
If you’re a senior product designer who loves combining creativity, technology, and hands-on building, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact from day one.
