About the Role
Our client is a well-established premium retailer, trading across the UK and internationally. Stock performance sits at the heart of the business, and this role owns it end to end.
You'll sit at the centre of Buying, Trading and Operations, making sure the right products are in the right place, in the right quantities, at the right time and at the right price. Stock health, availability, sell-through, aged and excess stock, forecasting and replenishment across the Group all sit with you.
This is hands-on and analytical. Reporting to the Commercial Director, you won't just report on performance - you'll spot the issues and opportunities in the numbers and drive action to fix them, working closely with Trading to balance sell-through against margin.
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.
