Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
The role
You will balance of hands-on design, strategic thinking and collaboration. No two days are quite the same. One day you might be facilitating workshops to uncover customer needs, the next you're conducting research, refining digital journeys, or helping a squad make better design decisions.
Going beyond creating wireframes and prototypes, you will help shape the direction of products and services, ensuring customer needs, business goals and technical constraints are considered together.
You will build strong relationships with stakeholders, advocate design and research principles, challenge assumptions constructively, and use evidence and insight to influence decisions.
A key part of the role is supporting others in the UX team. Sharing knowledge, providing feedback, and helping to raise the quality of research and design across the team.
Ultimately, it's about making complex problems simpler and creating experiences that genuinely improve our customers' lives and their financial outcomes.
What We’re Looking For
- Must have experience of React Native interfaces
- Strong track record of designing intuitive digital experiences across websites, secure portals, and native iOS and Android applications, with a focus on accessibility and inclusion
- Proven experience leading end-to-end user-centred design (UCD) activities, including research planning, methodology selection, user research and insight generation
- Demonstrated expertise in interaction design, applying emerging technology trends and AI tools to create effective, user-focused design solutions
- Experience presenting research findings, design recommendations and UCD principles to stakeholders, influencing design decisions and business outcomes
- Proven ability to coach and develop colleagues while delivering research and design activities within regulatory and legislative frameworks
