Assistant Manager | Essex | Up to £39,000
RAPIDLY EXPANDING and the MARKET LEADER in their retail sector!
If you thrive on pace, people, processes, and passion, then drive your career forward with this rapidly growing retail business.
Our client is a high-profile volume retail store, renowned for value-for-money and excellent customer service. Our client is very much on an upward trajectory, having undergone an impressive new store opening programme over the last few years. Our client is looking for future Store Managers.
As an Assistant Manager reporting to the Store Manager and responsible for a strong team, you'll be tasked with driving forward both turnover and revenues from the store based on lean principles. Keeping a close focus on financial KPIs, including wages, wastage, and shrinkage, will form a key element of the role, together with non-financials such as customer service/feedback, internal audit, and standards and compliance.
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.
