Description
The Role
- Use a range of research, testing, and validation techniques to shape concepts and improve designs from the earliest stages.
- Work alongside researchers and wider product teams to turn customer feedback, research findings, and behavioral insight into clear design opportunities.
- Test assumptions and hypotheses throughout the design process, ensuring decisions are grounded in evidence rather than opinion.
- Combine qualitative research with product data and customer behavior to understand pain points and identify areas for improvement.
- Own the design of end-to-end digital experiences, considering the complete customer journey rather than individual screens or features.
- Translate complex requirements into clear user journeys, information architecture, wireframes, interaction models, and user flows.
- Take ideas from early concepts and sketches through to well-defined, intuitive digital experiences.
- Design with the wider ecosystem in mind, understanding how individual journeys connect across different products, services, and digital channels.
- Work closely with Product, Research, and Engineering teams to balance user needs, commercial priorities, and technical feasibility.
- Use research insights, behavioral trends, and product performance data to guide design decisions and prioritization.
- Partner with Product Managers and Product Owners to identify opportunities, influence product direction, and establish measures of success.
- Ensure experiences meet appropriate accessibility, usability, and inclusive design standards.
- Create high-fidelity interface designs and interactive prototypes in Figma, turning UX concepts into polished digital experiences.
- Use prototypes to explore different approaches, communicate interaction behavior, and test ideas before development.
- Design responsive experiences for web and mobile, considering different screen sizes, devices, platforms, and accessibility needs.
- Refine designs through an iterative process, incorporating user testing, stakeholder input, and feedback from development teams.
- Create and apply reusable components, interaction patterns, and design standards that improve consistency across products.
- Contribute to the continued development and adoption of design systems and component libraries.
- Work closely with developers to make sure designs are practical to implement and that the finished product reflects the intended experience.
- Champion strong standards across visual design, interaction design, accessibility, and overall design quality.
- Work as part of a cross-functional product team, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Research, and other Design specialists.
- Clearly communicate design thinking and rationale, using research, customer insight, and data to support recommendations.
- Facilitate collaborative sessions and design discussions to explore problems, generate ideas, and build alignment.
- Contribute throughout the product lifecycle, from discovery and problem definition through to design, validation, and delivery.
- Help create a consistent customer experience across products by championing shared design principles, patterns, and ways of working.
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.
