Are you a Store, Operations, Trading, Deputy or Assistant Manager ready for your next step? Are you a results-driven leader who thrives in fast-paced retail? If so, this could be your perfect next move.
We’re looking for a Store Manager to join our store team in the Southampton Area! Initially this will be a designate role to cover the Southampton area and could cover a number of our stores across Southampton. Being flexible to travel across this area would be essential for this role.
As Store Manager, you’ll take full ownership of your store’s performance, driving sales, maintaining high standards, and leading a high-performing team. You’ll be hands-on on the shop floor, making real-time commercial decisions, delivering a great customer experience, and coaching your team to reach their full potential.
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.
