Senior Retail Designer
Senior Retail Designer
About Quinine
We are a leading Retail Experience Consultancy. We work with product and service brands by transforming existing or designing new retail environments. We focus on creating face-to-face experiences that work effectively for the business, the brand, the customer, and the staff.
Based in London, we work internationally for world-leading product and service brands including Comcast, EE, and Fido.
We are looking for an outstanding high-level mid-weight designer or an established senior designer seeking a fresh challenge and the opportunity to continue their growth within a new team.
The successful candidate will be a strong and creative design thinker who can conceptualize and craft appropriate design solutions in response to client challenges. You will be equally comfortable getting your hands dirty in the design delivery stages of the project.
The Role
As a client-facing member of the team, you will be a clear and compelling communicator with the ability to understand the client’s situation and needs. Alongside contributing to project leadership, you will also be confident in supporting and managing individual team members, helping to guide projects collaboratively and effectively.
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.
Sharing a leading role in projects, you will have the ability to handle multiple tasks at once and be comfortable managing meetings and calls with suppliers and clients. You will be comfortable in Quinine’s key disciplines: Research, Strategy, and Design, with a particular strength in Design. You must have experience in all design phases—from concept through to delivery.
You will be able to work at a variety of scales; just as comfortable working on a store-wide aesthetic as on detailing a store fixture. You will excel in design exploration, problem-solving, and idea creation. You will be comfortable working through design challenges independently and confident in presenting solutions that are thoughtful, robust, and considered to project teams.
A natural collaborator, alongside developing your own point of view, you will embrace other team members’ opinions (from creative director to junior designer), always striving for the best solution to a problem.
You will be accustomed to creating inspiring concept documents and building up accurate, error-free, detailed design drawings. You will be expected to manage and organise all project files and assets.
