Assistant Visual Merchandiser
About the Team
Our Visual Merchandising team plays a vital role in shaping how customers experience our products in store. Working closely with Commercial, Marketing and Retail teams, we create engaging, customer-focused displays that bring campaigns and product launches to life. This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative team where creativity and commercial insight come together to influence the customer journey and support business performance across our stores.
More About the Role
As an Assistant Visual Merchandiser, you will support the development and delivery of visual merchandising guidelines that help ensure products are presented in the right place, in the right way and at the right time. You will work across a range of product areas, supporting photography, video creation and layout building, while helping to translate brand and product strategies into practical, store-ready display solutions.
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.
