Join us on the journey
At Cotswold Outdoor Group, the outdoors isn’t just where we work, it’s who we are. Every day, our teams play a vital role in helping people get outside, explore more, and experience the world around them.
We’re looking for a Field Visual Merchandiser to join us on that journey. As a store-based member of the Visual Merchandising team, you'll be in stores every day focusing on maintaining visual standards and delivering clear, consistent communication to maintain our brand values and premium retail environment.
This role is about more than just day-to-day responsibilities, it’s about shaping how we inspire our customers, support our stores, and grow our community of adventurers.
About us
We believe life’s better when it’s lived outdoors. From hiking and wild swimming to simply stepping away from the screen, nature helps us feel alive.
We’re part of the Cotswold Outdoor Group, including Runners Need and Snow + Rock, offering trusted brands, expert advice, and a commitment to protecting the planet.
Whether it’s your first step or your next move, you’ll find opportunities to learn, grow, and be part of something bigger.
What you’ll be doing
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.
