Majestic Wine | Watford | Hybrid Working

Join one of the UK's best-known retail success stories.

Reporting into the Finance Director, you'll partner closely with the Store Operations Director, Supply Chain Director and their leadership teams, helping to improve performance across Majestic's retail estate and nationwide distribution network.

This isn't a traditional reporting role. It's a genuinely commercial finance position where you'll work alongside senior operational leaders, providing insight, challenge and strategic support that drives efficiency, profitability and better business decisions across the Group.

You'll be involved in:

  • Partnering Retail Operations and Supply Chain leadership
  • Improving Distribution Centre performance and cost efficiency
  • Supporting business cases for new store openings
  • Analysing store profitability and identifying opportunities for improvement
  • Leading budgeting and forecasting
  • Providing commercial insight that drives operational decisions

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.
