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.

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.
