Career Progression

Arcadia employs over 27,000 people in seven distinct brands and the shopping concept Outfit so there are plenty opportunities for advancement and career progression without ever having to leave our family of brands.

Because all vacancies are advertised internally many people have actively managed their own career - moving between brands and, in some cases, even between job functions. Many of the individual profiles provided on this website provide a picture of the opportunity to move around our business as your career progresses.

But in many parts of our business we also focus on structured career development for core roles. So in our retail stores career progression is managed through job competencies from sales assistant, to store manager, even through to Area Manager level.

The same is true of our Buying and Merchandising teams where job competencies drive progression. Meanwhile, in our finance teams job rotation ensures that managers have all had exposure to central, retail and buying and merchandising cost management before they take on a senior role.
