When you walk into a department store and see a display of gleaming products, you’re seeing the work of Visual Merchandising. As a Visual Merchandising intern, you’ll bring a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude and be ready to get stuck in.
You will…
When a new product launches, you’ll help find unique ways to present it to customers nationwide. You’ll assess competitor activity and look for ways to raise the bar. It’s a busy, fast-paced role, but seeing your ideas come to life can be incredibly rewarding.
Day to day, you may…
- Support the Visual Merchandising team in preparing and planning for new launches and promotions.
- Partner with retailers to help ensure visual merchandising is correctly implemented across the UK.
- Take ownership of projects and build your expertise in visual merchandising.
- Work with the Marketing team to design, manage and develop point-of-sale units.
- Help create launch guidelines and coordinate printing and distribution to stores.
- Update and develop planograms to guide stores on product presentation.
- Liaise with Marketing and Sales to confirm direction and stock levels.
- Visit stores to track competitor activity and launches, gathering photos and details of materials and structures for a monthly report to the Marketing team and General Manager.
- Attend trade shows and supplier fairs on behalf of the team.
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.
