Salary:£12.80-£13.00 per hour

Job Type:Full-time, Part-time 

Work location:Glasgow, Scotland

About the opportunity

McGrocer Ltd is supporting the development and launch of a new haircare and beauty business in Glasgow in partnership with experienced industry professionals.

The venture aims to build a distinctive haircare brand offering professional styling, textured-haircare, wigs, natural-hair maintenance, mature-hair services and accessible haircare for customers from all backgrounds.

We are looking for a passionate, proactive and commercially curious individual to help research the market, engage with potential customers and contribute to the early development of the business.

This is an opportunity to get involved at the beginning of a new venture, with the potential to become part of the long-term team as the business launches and grows.

What you’ll do

• Research Glasgow’s haircare market, customer needs and emerging beauty trends.
• Conduct customer surveys, interviews and local market research.
• Analyse competitors, pricing, customer preferences and opportunities.
• Investigate which services customers need regularly and are willing to pay for.
• Help identify potential customers, partnerships and community opportunities.
• Contribute ideas for branding, social media, customer experience and launch activities.
• Work closely with the founders and present practical research findings and recommendations.

Who we’re looking for

We would particularly welcome someone with genuine haircare knowledge, practical experience or a demonstrated passion for the hair and beauty industry.

You may have experience in hairstyling, wigs, braiding, natural-haircare, beauty retail, customer research, content creation or related personal projects.

The ideal candidate will be:

• Passionate about haircare, beauty and customer experience.
• Curious, creative and commercially minded.
• Confident communicating with people from different backgrounds.
• Familiar with contemporary haircare trends and social media.
• Comfortable engaging with local communities and potentially representing the brand at events or through content.
• Proactive, organised and willing to take ownership of tasks.
• Interested in helping develop a business, not just completing an internship.

A degree or previous corporate experience is not essential. We value practical knowledge, initiative, enthusiasm and the ability to turn ideas into action.

Opportunity for long-term involvement

We are looking for someone who may be interested in growing with the business beyond the initial internship.

The successful candidate will work directly with experienced founders and gain first-hand exposure to market research, brand development and the early stages of launching a business.

Candidates who demonstrate strong initiative, commercial awareness, creativity and ownership may be considered for an ongoing paid role with greater responsibilities as the business launches and expands.

Future opportunities could include brand development, community growth, marketing, customer experience or broader business operations.

Any continuing role will depend on performance, mutual fit and business requirements.

What we offer

• £13.00 per hour for a four-week paid internship.
• Flexible working hours,
• Hybrid working, including local research activities across Glasgow.
• Approved work-related travel expenses.
• Direct mentorship and involvement in real business decisions.
• An opportunity to contribute ideas and help shape a new venture.
• Potential for longer-term employment.

How to apply

Please submit your CV and answer these three questions:

1. What practical experience, personal knowledge or genuine interest do you have in the haircare or beauty industry?

2. If you had four weeks to research the Glasgow haircare market, how would you identify the services customers need most and are genuinely willing to pay for?

3. What attracts you to joining a new business at an early stage, and what strengths could you bring if the opportunity developed into a longer-term position?

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and career stages.
