Senior HR Operations Specialist

London / Hybrid | Insurance Brokerage | Reports into the HR Director

Our client, a growing insurance brokerage, is looking for a Senior HR Operations Specialist to run the show on people operations. It's a hands-on role for someone who can manage the details and think strategically in equal measure, in a business that takes regulation seriously.

What You'll Do

  • Own the employee lifecycle end-to-end - onboarding, probation, reviews, promotions, exits
  • Keep HR systems, records and data clean, accurate and audit-ready
  • Report on workforce metrics for leadership
  • Manage several HR platforms, including the core HRIS, appraisal tool, engagement software and LMS
  • Keep the business compliant with UK employment law and FCA people requirements (conduct, fitness and propriety, regulatory references)
  • Oversee monthly payroll accuracy alongside the payroll team and an outsourced provider
  • Administer benefits and pensions
  • Drive process improvements and lead HR projects, from system rollouts to policy reviews
  • Line manage an HR Operations Assistant

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.
