Senior Digital Product Designer – Financial Services
Location: London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester or Edinburgh
Type: Hybrid
Contract: 12-month FTC
Our client is a major UK financial services organisation with a simple belief: great design should be felt by every customer, every time. They're looking for a Senior Digital Product Designer who can shape strategy on Monday and be knee-deep in accessibility frameworks and design systems by Friday.
This is a rare "thinker-doer" role with real autonomy, real ownership, and real impact.
The Role
You'll be the primary design lead across complex, high-impact digital programmes. You'll own the process end-to-end, from discovery and user research to UX exploration and UI delivery, and be the person stakeholders trust to tell them what to do next.
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.

- Shape design strategy and contribute to the product design direction across the organisation
- Define and evolve design guidelines and standards that drive consistency and scale
- Act as the escalation point for design decisions, removing blockers and keeping quality high
- Coach and mentor designers, raising the bar for the whole practice
- Present, persuade, and build trust with senior stakeholders across the business

You're T-Shaped
Your deep vertical is product design, UX, and design systems. But you also speak the language of user research, accessibility, content design, and agile delivery — well enough to lead cross-functional teams, challenge thinking, and ensure everything ladders back to the user and the business.
You've got strong experience in complex enterprise environments, a portfolio that demonstrates real end-to-end thinking, and a genuine interest in inclusive, accessible design. A background in financial services or corporate banking? Even better.
Why This Role
One of the UK's most recognised financial brands. Real influence from day one. You won't be one of fifty designers filing tickets — your fingerprints will be on products that millions of people use every day.
