Store Manager

Location: Bristol
Salary: Up to £35,000 per annum
Role: Full Time | Permanent

Are you an experienced Store Manager, Assistant Manager, or senior retail leader looking for your next challenge?

We're looking for a hands-on, customer-focused manager to join a growing business where you'll receive structured training, real responsibility, and a clear pathway into Branch Management.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Store Manager who enjoys leading from the front, developing people, and delivering exceptional customer service within a fast-paced environment.

While previous experience within this sector isn't essential, experience leading teams, driving performance, and creating an outstanding customer experience is.

The Role

As Store Manager, you'll support the day-to-day running of a busy customer-facing operation while developing the knowledge and experience to take full ownership of your own branch.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Leading, coaching, and developing a customer-facing team
  • Delivering outstanding customer service and creating a positive customer experience
  • Supporting the day-to-day operation of the branch
  • Managing bookings, administration, and operational activity
  • Monitoring service levels, workflow, and operational standards
  • Driving sales performance and identifying opportunities to grow revenue
  • Building strong customer relationships within the local area
  • Maintaining high standards of presentation, compliance, and health & safety
  • Developing your commercial awareness through hands-on operational experience
  • Taking on increasing responsibility as part of your management development

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.
