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.
You will combine strong commercial analysis, forecasting and trading skills with effective cross-functional collaboration, working closely with Buying, Finance, Marketing and Store Operations teams to maximise performance across a £100m+ retail business.
Key Responsibilities:
- Planning & Trading: Develop seasonal and annual merchandise financial plans, manage OTB budgets and forecasts, and monitor weekly sales, margin and stock performance to identify opportunities and risks.
- Range & Stock Management: Manage stock allocation, replenishment and intake flow across multiple locations to improve availability, sell-through and stock productivity while minimising markdown and aged stock.
- Commercial Analysis: Analyse historical performance, market trends and customer behaviour to provide actionable insights and influence range planning, pricing, promotional and markdown decisions.
- In-Season Trading: Own in-season trading performance, proactively react to weekly results and reforecast sales and intake based on performance trends and market conditions.
