UX Design Consultant

12 UX Design Consultant (Hybrid – 3 days a week in the Dorking office)

About Our Company

We’re a specialist employee benefits provider, dedicated to creating healthy, happy workplaces. As part of the international Unum Group, we promote a unified mission: helping the working world thrive.


The Role

What Will You Be Doing?

You’ll stand as a UX Designer in our product team, designing intuitive, user-centred digital experiences that balance user needs with business objectives. Ideal for a mid-weighted designer, this hybrid role (3 days at our Dorking office) will offer exposure to research, design, and delivery, fostering growth within an Agile, product-driven environment.


Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate in cross-functional Agile teams, driving UX design through sprint cycles
  • Support user research (interviews, usability testing) and integrate findings into design solutions
  • Create wireframes, user flows, and interactive prototypes in Figma, adhering to interaction design and information architecture principles
  • Partner with developers to ensure designs are technically feasible and delivered effectively
  • Follow, enhance, and contribute to our design systems
  • Optimise user journeys using behaviour analysis to identify improvements
  • Take end-to-end ownership of design tasks—from discovery to delivery, handling ambiguity and defining problem statements
  • Engage closely with stakeholders (product, marketing, technology), presenting design work and defending design rationale

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.
