Shopping Centre Manager
A rare opportunity has arisen to take ownership of a high-profile, open-air retail and leisure destination in Stratford-upon-Avon.
The scheme is c.120,000sqft and predominantly F&B / leisure-led, with a strong town-centre presence and an important role within the local community. This is a lean site structure, so the role needs someone visible, hands-on and confident managing the day-to-day operation while also building strong relationships with occupiers, service partners, local stakeholders and the onsite team.
The Role
You will be responsible for the effective operational, commercial and stakeholder management of the centre, including:
- Day-to-day site operations, presentation, compliance and customer experience.
- Contractor / service partner management across cleaning, security, maintenance, waste, external areas and statutory compliance.
- Health & safety systems, RAMS, PPM, incident reporting and site documentation.
- Service charge budget support, invoice coding and cost control.
- Occupier engagement, trading feedback and support for tenant performance.
- Local stakeholder relationships, including BID / town-centre partners and community groups.
- Marketing, events, placemaking and commercialisation support.
- Regular reporting to the landlord and managing agent.
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.
