WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US IN OUR MISSION TO MAKE THE WORLD LOVE LIQUORICE?
LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW is the story of passionate craftsmanship in gourmet liquorice. Founded in 2007 by Johan Bülow on the Danish island of Bornholm, we continue our journey of creating surprising combinations and sensory experiences with liquorice at the core. The ambition remains the same: To inspire people around the world and spread the love for this unique Nordic flavour.
With the mission to make the world love liquorice - one liquorice at a time, LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW has its own stores in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as retail partners in more than 40 markets.
The UK is our fastest growing market. We have built a portfolio of London locations with more being opened this year, triple digit growth in our wholesale business and a thriving ecommerce channel. This role puts you at the centre of that growth.
Job Description:
We're looking for a Concession Manager to lead our store in Selfridges. This is a full-time role reporting into our UK Stores Manager, who oversees all three of our UK locations. You'll be the senior person on the ground, leading a team of up to five and taking full ownership of how the concession runs.
The iconic Selfridges attracts a genuinely premium customer - high gifting intent, international visitors, and real willingness to spend when the experience is right. Your job is to make sure it always is.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key responsibilities:
- Taking full accountability for the concession: sales performance, team standards, and day-to-day operations
- Leading and developing a team of up to five, with a real focus on product knowledge and the art of the tasting

Opening hours:

Requirements:

- Strong with people. You can lead a small team, maintain high standards, and keep morale up
- Experience working within a host retail environment or concession is a genuine advantage
- Organised and adaptable, with the ability to build and manage a rota and stock across shifting needs
- High personal standards for how the space looks, how the team performs, and how every customer feels when they leave
