Your new role

Multiple Immediate requirements for Service Designers with Business banking experience

The work

We're mapping a major UK bank's business banking experience end to end. The job is to produce service design blueprints for the key customer journeys, the ones that cut across channels and functions: digital, in-branch, telephony, customer servicing and the operations behind them. This is cross-channel, front-stage and back-stage work. We need people who can sit with stakeholders across the business, pull a journey apart, and show how it actually works and where it breaks, from the customer's first action through to the back-office steps that fulfil it.

What you'll do

  • Map key business banking journeys end to end, across digital, branch, telephony and customer servicing.
  • Build service blueprints that connect the customer-facing experience to the backstage processes, systems and teams that deliver it.
  • Run discovery and workshops with stakeholders across functions to understand how each journey really works.
  • Identify hand-offs, gaps, duplication and points of failure between channels and teams.
  • Produce clear artefacts that a senior banking stakeholder can read and act on.

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.
