The Role

We’re recruiting for an HR Business Partner to join a leading global financial services organisation’s HR team in London. This is a fast-paced, high-impact role combining hands-on UK HR operations and employee relations with strategic business partnering across Finance functions spanning multiple international HQ locations, including Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

You’ll act as a trusted advisor to senior Finance leaders (Accounting & Reporting, Tax, Treasury and Actuarial), while also owning the full HR generalist agenda for a London office population – from policy and ER casework through to recruitment, supplier management, and visa sponsorship.

What You’ll Be Doing

Strategic HR Partnership

  • Partner with Finance leadership to shape and deliver HR strategy aligned to business goals
  • Lead performance management, calibration, reward planning and workforce planning cycles
  • Work with Talent Acquisition to attract top Finance talent and support diversity goals
  • Partner with L&D/Culture teams on training and career development pathways
  • Drive retention through secondments, transfers and talent planning

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.
