Team Manager in Food – Marks & Spencer
Join M&S as a Team Manager in Food, where you’ll lead from the front and play a critical role in reshaping our stores for the next generation of customers.
This isn’t a back-office leadership role. You’ll be on the shop floor, setting the pace, raising standards, and inspiring your team to deliver:
- Standout style
- Sharp service
- Strong commercial results, even when the pressure is on
We’re looking for confident, people-first leaders who thrive in fast-moving environments, make bold decisions, and know how to bring the best out of others.
What success looks like
As a Team Manager, your impact would be measured by:
- A department that trades strongly, looks professional and delivers five-star service
- A motivated, multiskilled team who feel supported, challenged and proud of their contributions
- Clear ownership of standards, safety, availability, and operational excellence
- Strong commercial results driven by insight, pace, and great leadership
- A culture where every colleague feels valued, developed, and excited to grow with M&S
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.
