Are you a Deputy Manager, Assistant Manager, Department Manager, or Supervisor ready for your next step? Do you thrive in fast-paced retail and have a passion for leading and developing teams? Looking to become a future Store Manager? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re recruiting a Deputy Store Manager to join our Arundel team. Reporting to the Store Manager, you’ll play a key role in running the store, driving performance, maintaining high standards, and leading your team by example. This is a hands-on role where you'll be active on the shop floor, setting the pace and coaching your team to success.

What We’re Looking For

  • Retail management experience in a fast-paced, high-turnover environment
  • Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop medium to large teams
  • Strong commercial acumen and track record of hitting KPIs
  • Flexible to work varied shifts, including weekends and bank holidays
  • Experience in FMCG or big box retail is ideal, but not essential

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.
