At Monica Vinader, we believe luxury should be empowering, long-lasting and responsibly made. Guided by integrity, craftsmanship and innovation, our goal is to elevate people’s lives by opening access to a more beautiful world.
From crafting consciously with recycled precious metals and ethically sourced materials, to designing enduring, versatile pieces made to be layered, loved and lived in every day, we are redefining what modern jewellery can be. We create jewellery that marks moments, tells stories and becomes part of who you are, all while making responsible luxury more accessible.

Where we need your help
We have all the makings of an iconic brand - beautiful products that are timeless and designed to last, service that exceeds our customers expectations, a passionate founder that cares deeply about doing what is right and a loyal and growing community who advocate for us.
The Seasonal Retail Operations Assistant role is an exciting opportunity to help keep our boutique running seamlessly through our busiest trading periods — processing deliveries and transfers, supporting repairs and engravings, and maintaining impeccable back-of-house and visual merchandising standards so the team can focus on our clients.
What you’ll do
As a Seasonal Retail Operations Assistant, you are the engine room of the boutique during our busiest times of year. This is a behind-the-scenes, operations-focused role. Your day is all about precision, pace and pride in the details: you'll process incoming deliveries and stock transfers, support the smooth running of repairs and engravings, and keep back-of-house and the shop floor immaculate and on-brand. By keeping everything organised, accurate and to standard, you free the boutique team to deliver an exceptional client experience.
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.
