The Business
Our client is one of the world's most recognisable food-to-go brands. Built on quality coffee, great food and an unmistakable personality, they've grown from a single store into a global success story with thousands of locations worldwide.
Their airport business is one of the fastest-growing parts of the company, serving millions of customers every year. These sites are fast-paced, high-volume and packed with energy, making them some of the most exciting locations in the business.
People are at the heart of everything they do. They invest heavily in developing their teams and have a genuine track record of promoting from within, with many senior leaders starting their careers as Store Managers.
The Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced Store Manager to lead one of the brand's flagship locations at Stansted Airport.
This isn't your average retail or hospitality role. Every day brings a constant flow of customers from around the world, meaning no two shifts are ever the same. You'll lead a large team, create an engaging culture, deliver outstanding customer experiences and ensure the business performs commercially across every measure.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll have full ownership of the operation, from driving sales and controlling costs to developing your people and maintaining the high standards the brand is known for.
If you enjoy leading from the front, thrive in a busy environment and love building motivated teams, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that's continuing to grow.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading, motivating and developing a high-performing team in a busy airport environment.
- Creating a positive culture where people feel engaged, supported and motivated to deliver their best.
- Delivering exceptional customer experiences on every shift.
- Driving sales, profitability and operational performance across the store.
- Managing labour, stock, waste and other key commercial KPIs.
- Recruiting, coaching and developing future leaders.
- Ensuring brand standards, food safety and operational excellence are maintained at all times.
- Building strong relationships with both internal stakeholders and airport partners.
About You
You'll already be an experienced manager within hospitality, retail or another fast-paced customer-facing business and you'll genuinely enjoy leading people.

We're looking for someone who:
- Has experience managing high-volume hospitality, food-to-go or retail operations.
- Leads with confidence, positivity and personality.

- Is commercially minded and understands how to drive sales while controlling costs.
- Stays calm under pressure and enjoys the buzz of a busy trading environment.
- Takes ownership, solves problems quickly and leads by example.
- Loves creating memorable customer experiences.
Why Join?
This is far more than a Store Manager role. It's an opportunity to join a global brand that's investing heavily in its people and continuing to expand across the UK.
You'll benefit from:
- Competitive salary plus performance bonus.
- Genuine career progression with clear development pathways.
- Industry-leading training and leadership development.
- The chance to manage one of the busiest and highest-profile stores in the estate.
- A people-first culture where personality, passion and ambition are recognised and rewarded.
- The opportunity to build a long-term career with an internationally recognised lifestyle brand.
