We're partnering with a rapidly growing online beauty retailer to recruit a Junior Buyer to join their commercial team.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly successful eCommerce business that has built a strong reputation within the beauty industry and continues to experience significant growth. With an entrepreneurial culture, ambitious plans and a genuine passion for beauty, this is a business where you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact and develop your buying career.

Working closely with the Head of Commercial, you'll support the management of key beauty brands, ensuring strong supplier relationships, effective stock management and commercial performance across a diverse product portfolio.

The Role

As Junior Buyer, you'll play a key role in supporting the buying function, helping to ensure products are available at the right time, in the right quantities and at the right commercial terms.

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.
