At Pets at Home, we’re on an ambitious journey to become the best pet care business in the world. To get there, we’re continuing to evolve how our retail business operates, making sure our strategy, customer experience and transformation priorities are clearly connected and delivered at pace.

We’re looking for a Senior Business Change Manager to play a key role in shaping and delivering strategic change across our Retail Transformation agenda.

About the Role

As Senior Business Change Manager, you’ll help lead the delivery of strategic priorities across the Retail Turnaround Plan, bringing structure, clarity and momentum to key workstreams.

You’ll work closely with senior leaders, workstream owners and frontline stakeholders to ensure change activity is aligned to the wider retail and business strategy. You’ll provide the governance, insight and communication needed to help teams make informed decisions, manage risks and dependencies, and embed new ways of working that deliver sustainable outcomes.

This is a high-profile, hybrid role based from our Support Office in Handforth.

What you’ll do

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.
