Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re Looking for Someone Who Has:
- Proven B2B sales/business development experience within the apparel industry
- Previous experience with a garment manufacturer, supplier, sourcing company, agency, or fashion wholesaler
- Strong apparel and product knowledge, ideally across areas such as wovens, outerwear, jersey, and knitwear
- A good understanding of garment sourcing, development, pricing, MOQs, and lead times
- An established network within UK and/or European fashion brands would be a significant advantage
- Experience working with Asian manufacturing and supply chains would also be beneficial
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Please note that we are specifically looking for B2B apparel industry experience rather than B2C/consumer-facing sales experience. This is a part-time position, with working hours and structure to be discussed with the successful candidate.
The right person will be commercially driven but also genuinely interested in product — someone who understands what a brand is looking for, can identify where Golden Empire can add value, and can turn those opportunities into long-term manufacturing partnerships.
Please only apply if you have the relevant apparel industry experience and skill set outlined above. Whilst we will endeavour to respond to all applicants, due to the volume of applications, we may not be able to reply individually to every candidate.
We look forward to hearing from you.
