Customer and Trading Manager - Convenience

What you’ll be doing:

  • Working closely with a small team of managers to make sure the store runs like clockwork every day. 
  • Taking responsibility for the day to running of the store, often being the only manager in with accountability for the full shop. 
  • Work alongside a team to complete all tasks, ensuring our customers are served efficiently and safely. 
  • People management is also big part of the role, managing performance and capability, conducting disciplinaries and ensuring scheduling and pay are accurate. 
  • Where we have close knit networks of convenience stores it may mean that you need to help another store now and then.

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.
