Head of People
A technology business of around 400 people, growing fast, is hiring a Head of People as number two to the CPO.
It's a wider brief than the title suggests. Alongside the People agenda you'd take on strategic Operations work, sit close to the Board, and own how AI and automation get used inside the function.
The Role
- Lead People transformation across talent, L&D, engagement, systems, data and organisational effectiveness
- Own the AI, automation and systems optimisation agenda for the People function
- Lead strategic Operations and cross-functional improvement initiatives
- Partner senior leaders across Sales, Strategy, Marketing and Shared Services
- Support M&A and due diligence work
- Stay hands-on as a senior People leader and trusted advisor
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.
