Full-time (Permanent)
If you’re an experienced retail leader who loves developing teams, driving performance and delivering an exceptional customer experience, this could be a great next move.
We’re looking for a full-time Store Manager to lead, train and inspire a retail team, reporting to the Head of Retail. You’ll drive commercial results while ensuring consistently high standards of customer service, product knowledge and store presentation.
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.
