Are you ready to be the newest member of one of our leadership teams? We think so. Because you love developing others, being a brand ambassador and welcoming better ways of working. If you can get the best out of people, we’d love to see the best of you.
What you’ll do
You’ll coach, develop and support your colleagues to do a brilliant job. From challenging conversations to cheering on progress, you’ll take it all in your stride.
We’ll look to you to lead and motivate an energised team, champion our values and show others how to put the customer first — whether that’s structured direction or more ‘in the moment’ guidance. You’ll look after their needs and welfare at work too and take ownership of the things that matter to them the most including pay and scheduling decisions.
Every day you’ll embody positivity and a can-do attitude, whether you’re learning process changes yourself or helping a colleague to understand them. Above all, you’ll be a role model in doing the right thing for customers and driving profitable sales for your store.
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.
Who you are
You talk to your colleagues in an engaging, inspiring way, and take their feedback on board too. You’ll be happy to collaborate across the business and use tech as part of the job. In addition, you’ll keep your focus on your teams while being a leadership presence for all the others in the store.
Great judgement and decision making are part of your nature. You know how to prioritise and plan and are as keen to drive your own development as you are supporting your team in theirs.
How you’ll progress
There’s a host of routes to choose from. Prove yourself in this role, and we’ll really encourage you to develop. Whether you choose to stay with Argos and perhaps step into a store management role or move across and develop in one of our Sainsbury’s stores, you’ll have every opportunity to take your career where you want it to go.
What we’ll give you
Salary will be dependent upon your experience as well as the store size, complexity and location. Alongside this, we also offer a great range of benefits for our managers, including:
