Job Overview

About The Role

Looking for a role where your work really matters? Whether you’re a recent graduate with big ambitions or already have some relevant experience under your belt, this role is packed with opportunity. As an Assistant Demand Planner at AO, you’ll help make sure we always have the right stock in the right place, at the right time - so our customers get what they want, when they want it.

You’ll work on one of our biggest and most exciting product categories, supporting our Demand Planners to keep availability strong and everything running like clockwork behind the scenes. From day one, you’ll get hands-on experience in forecasting, planning, and stock management - all while being part of a collaborative, supportive team that loves solving problems and making things happen together.

Our people are our superpower, and we’re unstoppable when we’re together! We want your ideas to flow, and what better way to make that happen than being based onsite, 5 days a week, where our culture fuels creativity, collaboration and growth. If a £1 bet in the pub between two friends can become the UK's most trusted electrical retailer, imagine what else can be achieved when we’re together!

Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing

  • Create and manage purchase orders to keep stock flowing where it needs to be
  • Support Demand Planners to maintain strong product availability across categories
  • Build great working relationships with internal teams and external suppliers
  • Keep key stakeholders updated with clear, timely communications and reports
  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date data in Relex to power our forecasting and replenishment decisions

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.
