HR Business Partner | £75-80k | Central London | 3 days office, 2 from home

Handle are partnering with a growing international creative business to find an experienced, commercial People Partner to join a new and evolving People function.

This is a broad generalist, relationship-focused role working closely with senior leaders across a varied client group. You'll take ownership of your own business areas across the UK and EMEA, getting under the skin of how they operate and helping leaders navigate everything from growth and organisational change through to performance, talent, culture, and more complex people challenges.

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.

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.

It's an environment with lots of big personalities and varied business needs, so we're looking for someone who is commercial, emotionally intelligent, and confident building credibility with senior stakeholders. You'll need to be comfortable coaching and challenging leaders, navigating ambiguity, and bringing good judgement rather than simply relying on process. You'll be someone who builds relationships intentionally and can take leaders on a journey, influencing and managing upwards.

You'll also need a solid generalist foundation and be confident with the more hands-on side of the role when needed, including complex ER and change.
