About Specsavers

At Specsavers, we're passionate about changing lives through better sight and hearing, and our Contact Lens team plays a big part in making that happen. We're looking for a Category Manager to help shape the future of our contact lens category across the UK and ROI.

About the Role

It's an exciting opportunity to influence strategy, develop customer offers, and help deliver continued growth in a market-leading business. This is a fixed term contract for up to 2 years.

You'll take ownership of key trading activity, bringing together strategic thinking, commercial understanding, and strong project management to deliver initiatives that make a real difference for our customers and store partners. Working closely with colleagues across product, marketing, finance, operations, and supplier teams, you'll turn ideas into action and ensure plans are delivered smoothly and effectively.

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.
