A growing, female-founded communications business that is going from strength to strength is looking for its first Head of HR to join the team as soon as possible.
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a fast-paced, entrepreneurial business. The environment is agile and high-energy, with a team that really cares about the work they do and the impact they have.
This is a broad, hands-on generalist role with the opportunity to shape the people function as the business continues to grow. Initially, you'll be focused on:
- Strengthening the HR foundations
- Bringing structure to policies, processes, and HR operations
- Ensuring the employee experience is consistent and effective
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
Alongside this, you'll act as a trusted strategic partner to the leadership team, providing support on:
- Complex employee relations
- Employment law and compliance
- Wider business planning and the company's future growth
You'll initially be standalone, giving you the opportunity to really understand the business and shape what the people team needs to look like as it grows. There is potential to build out additional support over time.
The ideal candidate will be CIPD-qualified with strong generalist experience, confident ER and employment law knowledge, and experience of bringing structure to a growing or evolving business. You'll need to be comfortable operating at both a strategic and hands-on level - equally happy advising senior leaders as you are drafting a policy or getting into the detail of an employee issue.
