Junior Merchandiser | Manchester - Hybrid | £30,000-£40,000 depending on experience
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a commercially driven Junior Merchandiser to join an incredibly successful and fast-paced consumer business.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who is hungry to learn, enjoys working at pace and wants genuine exposure to all areas of merchandising and the wider commercial operation.
Reporting directly into the Head of Merchandising, you'll be involved in everything from planning and pricing through to trading meetings, stock decisions and supplier management. No two days will be the same, and you'll have the opportunity to build a really strong understanding of the full merchandising process.
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.
