UX Designer

UX Designer – D2C Platforms

Join our award-winning team as we further our expansion, playing a prominent role in the UX Design discipline to craft exceptional user experiences for our D2C platforms.

In this critical role, you’ll analyse and interpret business and user requirements before transforming them into sketch designs, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity interface assets—driving commercially successful product outcomes.


What You’ll Be Doing

Leadership & Strategy

  • Lead design projects from inception to delivery, managing the full design lifecycle (research → prototyping → implementation).
  • Proactively advocate for UX within the business, creating blog posts, speaking opportunities and internal workshops beyond the product roadmap.

Design Execution

  • Sketch, wireframe and prototype concepts with precision, using tools like Figma/Adobe XD to create interactive designs before development.
  • Ensure technical feasibility by collaborating closely with developers, addressing constraints while maintaining accessibility and usability.

Iteration & User-Centred Design

  • Orchestrate the design process iteratively, applying data-driven insights from user testing to continuously refine solutions.
  • Liaise with the Research team to define and conduct user testing programmes.

Mentorship & Collaboration

  • Provide guidance and support to junior designers, fostering skill growth.
  • Participate in weekly UX critique sessions, sharing insights and fostering a culture of feedback.

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.
