Looking for a role where your ideas can help shape the products used by thousands of customers across the UK and beyond?
If you're looking to take the next step in your career and want to develop your commercial, analytical and project management skills within a successful British manufacturer, we'd love to hear from you.
At Autosmart, we've spent over 45 years developing innovative products that help businesses keep vehicles clean, safe and looking their best. As our business continues to grow, we're looking for an ambitious Assistant Product Manager to join our Marketing team and support the development of our market-leading product portfolio.
You'll work alongside our Product Manager, supporting the full product lifecycle—from identifying new product opportunities and launching exciting innovations, through to analysing product performance and helping shape the future of our ranges. You'll work closely with colleagues across Marketing, R&D, Sales, Operations and our Franchise network, giving you real exposure to every part of the business.
This role also offers the opportunity to visit franchisees and customers across the UK, helping you understand how our products are used in the real world and ensuring the voice of the customer is at the centre of everything we do.
Please note: This role includes occasional travel throughout the UK and, from time to time, overnight stays.
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.
