Urban Outfitters started out as a single boutique in 1970s Philadelphia with creativity and uniqueness at its core. 50 years on, and over 60 stores across Europe later, we’ve become a destination for emerging design, unexpected styling, One-Of-A-Kind vintage and homeware that makes you want to hit the share button.
We speak to a social community of over 10 million forward-thinking individuals, bringing together a nostalgia for the past with an enthusiasm to shape the future. The UO community are culturally aware, they shape the music scene, they live a digitally native life and they wear style trends before anyone else. At our core, we empower our customers and staff to express themselves, unapologetically, living life in a way that's truly authentic to them.
We are always excited to bring new talent into the room, especially if you share our values:
- Progressive — we move with the mood
- Creative — we champion limitless minds
- Inclusive — we open our platforms to all communities
- Responsible — we work to reduce our impact on the environment
- Compassionate — we care for each other beyond the 9 to 5

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.
As a MAA, you’ll play a key role in this – using analysis to help decide which markets receive each style and making sure stores receive the right level of replenishment. You’ll also run reports to help the team spot new sales trends – or perhaps an area that might benefit from some promotional activity – while at the same time liaising with our suppliers to arrange their deliveries into our fulfilment centre.
As you progress, you’ll have the opportunity to support your team with other insight – whether that’s analyzing geographical performance, reviewing a product trial on our website or keeping an eye on what sizes our styles are selling in.
The retail world is changing fast – it’s an exciting time to get involved.
