What you’ll be doing
We’re looking for someone who can work collaboratively alongside a full design team and take full ownership of their design output. They will be confident when presenting their work to collaborators, and able to adapt designs to reflect their feedback and feedback from user research and usability testing.
- Skilfully craft the end-to-end user experience, bringing together a cohesive journey step by step, creatively using components from a central design system to figure out the right balance of content and UI (User Interface) elements on screen
- Bring designs to life with a choice of prototyping software, such as Sketch / InVision / Figma / Axure / Adobe XD
- Balance business requirements with user needs – you'll be gathering user research and rationale to align customers on individual user needs. You’ll know when to diplomatically push back, if necessary, to act on what’s right for the customer
- Be adaptable to the technical constraints of different platforms yet still be able to give guidance on creating the best possible end user experience
- Advocate customer inclusion – what it means to make an inclusive and accessible design to be used by customers of a wide range of ages, backgrounds and technical abilities
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.
