Deputy Store Manager - Retail
Love the buzz of a busy shop floor? Know how to bring out the best in a team? Ready for a role where your ideas and energy make a difference?
We’re recruiting a hands-on Deputy Store Manager who can turn a busy day into a great day - for customers, colleagues, and the business.
You’ll be the Store Manager’s trusted partner, helping drive sales, develop your team, and keep the operation running smoothly. When they’re away, you’ll take the lead, making decisions and keeping everyone focused, supported, and motivated.
Deputy Store Manager - Your next challenge:
This is a role for someone who enjoys getting involved. From spotting opportunities to improve sales to coaching a colleague through something new, you’ll have a real influence on how the store performs.
You’ll:
- Lead from the front: Set the pace on the shop floor, support your colleagues, and create a team people want to be part of.
- Make the numbers count: Use sales figures and KPIs to identify opportunities, control costs, and improve performance.
- Get the details right: Keep availability, presentation, and service standards high so customers enjoy a consistently great experience.
- Build confidence and capability: Coach your team, recognize great work, and help people take their next step.
- Take ownership: Manage the store in the Store Manager’s absence, handling challenges and making confident decisions.
- Keep things running safely: Maintain strong standards across stock, cash handling, security, and compliance.
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.
