Role Purpose and Key Responsibilities

You will work as an embedded member of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with UX Research, Service Design, Product Management, Business Analysis, Operations and Technology to support detailed design and implementation planning.
Key Responsibilities:
- Create user flows, journey maps, wireframes, prototypes and interaction concepts that bring priority future experiences to life.
- Translate research findings, stakeholder insight and service design outputs into clear, practical and testable design solutions.
- Support usability testing, concept evaluation and stakeholder validation, using feedback to refine and improve designs.
- Work closely with Service Design, Product, Business Analysis and Technology teams to ensure designs reflect operational requirements and technical constraints.
- Apply accessibility standards, design-system patterns and reusable components to create consistent and inclusive experiences.
- Produce clear design documentation and contribute actively to workshops, design reviews and sprint activities, highlighting risks and dependencies early.
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.
