About Harrods Beauty
Harrods beauty is no normal beauty hall, with interactive play tables to try on the latest products, a Harrods gift shop, and a big pink bear for your Instagram pictures; we are focused on the experience our customers have when they walk through our doors.
Leading a category, you will provide world-class customer service, and role model our Harrods Values with a can-do attitude. You strive to deliver above and beyond for your customers and colleagues every day. You always keep ahead of the game, researching new products before they launch, becoming well-versed and ready to share your exceptional product knowledge. You love keeping up to date with the latest beauty trends, especially within your Category space.
About the Role
You will be accountable for delivering on trade targets and educating our valued customers on the best beauty products and routines. You will be an ambassador across the store for the Harrods Standard, The Beauty of Selling, and be a go-to person for updated product knowledge and new brand/product launches. With this knowledge, you will be key in sharing trainings with the wider team as well as the in-store management team and our buying partners. You will oversee the stock operation for your category, closely collaborating with the operations team to achieve and maintain an accurate stock file at all times.
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.
