ARNE's Retail Vision
ARNE's retail vision is to redefine what shopping feels like. Every space we create embodies our ‘less is more' approach, understated yet elevated, blending minimal, high-quality products with a store environment that's anything but average. We're challenging the traditional retail model and setting a new standard where exceptional design, accessible pricing and meaningful customer experiences sit side by side.
New Store Opening
Following the incredible success of our flagship store at Liverpool ONE, we're continuing our exciting retail journey with the launch of a brand-new pop up store in Westfield Stratford, London.
Role Overview
As part of this, we are looking for an ambitious and driven Store Manager to join our team on a fixed term contract basis and play a key role in bringing the ARNE experience to life in our new location.
Reporting to our Area Manager you'll be responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the store, driving an exceptional customer experience, leading a high performing team and achieving financial and operational targets. You will play a vital role in driving sales and engaging customers with our products.
If you're passionate about fashion, love delivering exceptional customer experiences, and want to be part of a brand that's redefining retail, this is your opportunity to make an impact and help shape the future of ARNE.
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.
