🚨 Hiring | Head of People (9-Month FTC)
📍 London (Hybrid)
📅 Start: Early September 2026
📄 Contract: 9-month fixed-term
I'm partnering with an innovative technology company operating at the intersection of AI and digital assets to find an experienced Head of People for a 9-month fixed-term contract, starting in September 2026.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll lead the People function, oversee in-house recruitment, and manage a team of two. This is a strategic leadership role, but you'll also be happy to roll up your sleeves during busy hiring periods when needed.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What you'll be doing:
- Leading the People strategy and employee experience across the business.
- Managing and developing the HR and Talent teams.
- Overseeing performance, engagement, wellbeing, and retention initiatives.
- Partnering with hiring managers and leading recruitment strategy.
- Advising leadership on HR best practice and employment matters across international teams.
We're particularly keen to speak with people who have:
- Experience leading the People function within a software, SaaS, or technology business.
- A background in startups or scale-ups (ideally businesses with fewer than 100 employees).
- Strong knowledge of UK employment law, with exposure to Portugal being a significant advantage.
- Experience working with distributed/international teams and Employer of Record (EoR) arrangements.
- A strategic mindset, while still being comfortable getting involved in recruitment and HR delivery when required.
