The role
As a Product Manager, you will own your department’s performance—translating product, customer and trading insight into clear, fast actions on the shop floor. You’ll drive availability, deliver impactful newness and set the pace for daily trading, leading your team through constant change.

- Own daily and weekly trading, turning insights into clear action plans
- Read and act on commercial reports
- Identify opportunities, risks and priorities
- Drive sell-through by balancing newness, best sellers and stock depth
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.
