About us
VPZ is the UK’s number one vape retailer. Since opening our first store in Edinburgh, we've expanded to over 190 locations across the UK and we're not stopping there. We are known for setting and driving the standards within the vape industry, this is a great time to join us as we continue to grow.
About the Role
We are looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Head Office Graduate to join our fast-growing business. Operating from our Edinburgh head office, this high exposure development role sits directly alongside our company owners.
You will actively support our Managing Directors with critical operational and administrative tasks, offering a unique vantage point to gain hands-on experience working across multiple business departments and senior stakeholders. The successful candidate will have the chance to prove themselves and progress into a more senior project or operations-focused position.
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.
