The Company

Our client is a successful and growing technology-led organisation operating within a fast-moving and innovative market. With a strong focus on growth, innovation and developing its people, the business is looking to appoint an experienced Head of Talent & People Development to lead its talent, development and employee engagement agenda.

The Role

Managing a small specialist team, you will lead the delivery of the organisation's talent, development and engagement agenda. This will include senior and specialist recruitment, learning and leadership development, career and succession planning, and employee engagement. Working closely with senior leaders, you will ensure initiatives are practical, commercially relevant and delivered consistently across the business.

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.

The Person

You will have broad experience across talent, learning and development, employee experience or organisational development, together with a strong track record of translating strategy into practical delivery.
