🔎 Put users at the heart of what gets designed.
We’re looking for an experienced User Researcher to join a growing Digital Customer Experience practice and help shape services that genuinely meet the needs of the people who use them.
You’ll work across complex transformation programmes, using research, evidence, data and emerging AI tools to uncover insight, influence decisions and improve digital products and services.

- Choose and apply the right qualitative, quantitative or mixed-method approach
- Run interviews, observations, diary studies, usability testing and surveys
- Work closely with designers, product managers, developers and stakeholders
- Use prototypes to test assumptions, hypotheses and user journeys
- Synthesise research into clear, actionable insights
- Present findings and influence evidence-based design decisions
- Explore AI-enhanced research methods to increase efficiency and scale
- Help ensure AI-enabled services remain ethical, inclusive and genuinely user-centred
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.
