Ocado Retail Graduates,
our Future Talent!


The Aim for Our Graduate Talent
We’re all for developing top talent at Ocado Retail, and our Graduates are a huge part of that. So, our goal for any colleague on a Graduate Scheme is for them to be our retail leaders of the future!
To do that, we have an engaged support network for our Graduates, who work together to drive our culture and build cross-functional networks and skills through our schemes that benefit both the individuals and the teams they work with.
Starting with a bespoke Induction to Ocado Retail and your team, you’ll have the opportunity to take responsibility early on. We believe the best way to learn is by doing, though we’ll be here to support you the whole way.
The streams come together for induction into the whole business at the start of the scheme, as well as regular learning and development sessions (and of course the odd social event!).
So, if you are looking for an exciting first step into online retail at a fast-growing business, there is an Ocado Graduate scheme, just for you!
All Graduate Schemes commence September 2025.

Our Learning & Development Promise
There are great opportunities to grow careers within our high-performing and innovative business. These range from deepening your experience and expertise to potentially taking on management responsibility or even pivoting your career to do something completely different.
Our career management principles exist to help the realisation of career ambitions, whatever they might be.
Driven by you
You are in the driving seat of your career. We all have a responsibility to do the things that can help move our careers forward. That could mean completing some learning, using our career stories to understand how your colleagues have got to where they are today, or applying for a new role.
Supported by your manager
You should feel that you can have open and productive conversations with your manager about your career and development. They are there to coach you, act as a mentor, signpost opportunities and be an advocate for you within the business.
Backed by ORL
We are committed to ensuring that the right tools are there for you. Our learning system ‘Walnut’ is your one stop shop for all your learning needs.

Start Dates
When will you hear from us?
We’ll take a look through each application and whether successful or not, we’ll aim to get back to everyone within 2 weeks of the closing date.
We love that we get loads of amazing applications for our graduate schemes. To recognise that, we aim to keep you informed throughout the process. But, that can take a bit of time, so please so bear with us between stages.
We treat all applications respectfully and fairly so unfortunately, if you miss the closing date we won’t be able to make exceptions to extend stages. This wouldn’t be fair to those candidates who have completed them!
How will we contact you?
Email, so make sure you’ve added careers@ocadoretail.com to your safe senders.
