About the Company
We are partnering with a global leader in data protection, backup, disaster recovery, and cyber resilience managed services. The organisation supports businesses worldwide in protecting critical data and ensuring operational continuity through a range of cloud and on-premise solutions, backed by 24/7 expert support.
The Role
We are seeking a growth-minded HR Business Partner who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys balancing strategic people initiatives with day-to-day operational HR delivery.
Working closely with a wider international HR function, this individual will be the primary HR Business Partner supporting the UK business, alongside an established Learning & Development team.

The successful candidate will be a key member of the HR team, acting as a trusted advisor to leadership while remaining a hands-on practitioner capable of delivering HR activities independently.
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.
