Merchandising Analyst (Fixed Term Contract)

North London (Hybrid) £45,000 + Benefits

4-5 Month Fixed Term Contract 2 Days Office / 3 Days Home

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Merchandising Analyst to join a well-established retail business on a fixed-term basis, supporting a major systems implementation project.

This role is ideal for someone who has progressed from a Senior Assistant Merchandiser or Junior Merchandiser background and moved into a dedicated analytical position, using data to influence commercial decision-making across a retail environment.

The Role

Working closely with merchandising, trading, and leadership teams, you'll be responsible for analysing large volumes of data and transforming insights into clear commercial recommendations that improve sales, margin, stock productivity, and customer growth.

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.
