HR Business Partner - EMEA - German speaking
Ideally Based in the Midlands or North
4 Days Per Week or Full Time
Salary £65k - £80k
I'm partnering with a growing international organisation on the appointment of an experienced Global People Partner to support a rapidly expanding European division.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys operating in a standalone, commercially focused role, partnering directly with senior leadership and helping shape the people agenda across multiple countries.
The Opportunity
Working closely with the Managing Director and wider leadership team, you will provide strategic and operational People support across a specialist division with employees located primarily across Germany, Poland, and the UK.
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The business is at an exciting stage of growth, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys building, influencing, and partnering within a fast-paced environment.
