Retail Store Manager

Store Manager (Fixed-Term, 12 Months) – Metro Centre Location

We’re looking for an inspiring and driven Store Manager to lead our METRO CENTRE store on a 12-month fixed-term contract—could this be you?


About the Brand: More Than Just Lingerie

Our success? Our talented people. They’re why our brand shines.

  • Deliver amazing service that leaves a lasting impression.

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.
