Digital Trading Lead

As a Digital Trading Lead, you will have the opportunity to shape and execute comprehensive digital plans, driving growth and improvement in digital metrics. You will ensure best in class digital merchandising is delivered for your category of responsibility including marketplace products, ensuring that customers are able to successfully complete their full shopping mission. You will collaborate with stakeholders across the business, using insight and analysis to deliver customer focused initiatives that drive multiple metrics, including sales, conversion, customer engagement and digital participation.

What I am accountable for:

  • Review daily performance and take clear actions to capitalise on opportunities or mitigate risks, driving improvements in line with business targets.
  • Conduct regular site-walks to review the customer journey and check information accuracy, addressing any issues.
  • Take responsibility for the performance of your category including marketplace products, highlighting key actions, opportunities, risks, and providing a performance narrative.
  • Develop and deliver the digital category plan up to six months out, including implementation, flagging risks or challenges to the Digital Trading Manager.
  • Optimise your category regularly using tools and insights to improve digital metrics and outcomes (e.g. Adobe, SIP, etc.).
  • Own delivery of category BAU initiatives such as range reviews, newness, and cycle changes.
  • Build relationships with Commercial (buying) teams, Marketplace and other key stakeholders, attending sessions to support digital execution and champion the digital channel.
  • Support the Digital Trading Manager with supplier relationships, including data and insight, and attend meetings as appropriate, partnering with Nectar360 on retail media opportunities.

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.
