What You’ll Be Doing

The Service Designer shapes end-to-end services across people, process, technology, and data within a fast-moving innovation environment.

It’ll be your role to:

  • Design-Led Discovery & Insight Sensemaking - Leads discovery, synthesises insights across customer, market, and data signals, and frames opportunities in low-information environments.
  • End-to-End Service Architecture & Systems Thinking - Designs service blueprints and maps dependencies across journeys, operations, platforms, and teams.
  • Decision Leadership & Experimentation - Applies hypothesis-led thinking, JTBD, and lightweight experimentation to guide product and service direction.
  • Technical & Operational Awareness - Designs within platform, API, and legacy constraints while using AI/LLM tools responsibly to accelerate service design workflows.
  • Co-Creation & Customer Facilitation - Brings together business, engineering, and customer perspectives to align desirability, feasibility, and viability.

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.
