First, who are we?
We're Cielo Costa, a boutique technology consultancy: 30 people working fully-remotely across the UK, Pakistan, India, Tunisia, and the Philippines. We call ourselves Coasties 🌊, and we're marathon runners, parents, triathletes, gamers, musicians, photographers, and travel enthusiasts outside of work. We care about our work and each other in equal measure: excellence in delivery is non-negotiable, but so is being human.
Our reason for existing is simple: elevate human experience. That's why we're hiring our first Service Designer, to lead how we untangle client problems and design experiences that create lasting impact.
The Role
Reporting to Gareth Fryer - Director- Product & Consulting. Gareth is leading all things product and experiences at Cielo Costa. You'll work with as much autonomy as you can handle. 🚀
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.
