We offer a very desirable opportunity for the correct candidate to further their career and experience within the business as it continues to expand and grow further.
WHO WE WANT:
We are looking for an organised and passionate fashion design student to join our young and evolving team. You must be an excellent team player who is also well experienced working autonomously and as part of a team.

THE PLACEMENT
During the placement, you will have the opportunity to:
- Review previous collection performance, including sales data and customer feedback, to understand how commercial performance informs future design decisions.
- Assist with seasonal trend forecasting, colour and yarn research and mood board development.
- Support the development of design concepts, prototypes and CADs.
- Work alongside our Design Team and Garment Technician on technical packs, measurements, construction details and product specifications.
- Gain experience communicating with factories and suppliers throughout the development process.
- Participate in prototype and sample reviews, considering fit, construction, quality, colour, handle and commercial viability.
- Assist with amendments and updates following sample reviews.
- Support the preparation and organisation of salesman sample sets for seasonal selling.
- Work alongside our Sales Team to understand wholesale and customer feedback and how this feeds back into product development.
- Gain exposure to the Marketing Team and the launch of new collections.
- Support the Design Team with appropriate day-to-day projects and tasks based on the student’s experience and course requirements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A key benefit of the placement is that you will not simply see the design process in isolation. You will gain an understanding of the commercial journey of a fashion collection, and how creative decisions are influenced by sales performance, customer feedback, production considerations and market requirements. The placement is intended to support university learning and placement-hour requirements.
