About the Role
We’re looking for an HR Business Partner who can operate as a true partner to business leaders, not simply as an HR support function. You’ll work closely with leaders to strengthen performance, develop managers, identify organizational risks, navigate complex people situations, and turn business needs into practical people strategies. This is a strategic and hands-on role. You’ll need to be comfortable building relationships and trust while also having the confidence to challenge leaders, address difficult situations, and hold people accountable. This role is a strong fit for someone who thrives in environments with changing priorities, and someone who enjoys building structure where it doesn’t yet exist.
What You’ll Do
- Partner directly with managers and leaders on performance, development, employee relations, and team effectiveness.
- Coach leaders on setting expectations, giving feedback, addressing performance issues, and developing their teams.
- Identify talent gaps, organizational risks, and recurring people challenges before they become larger issues.
- Use HR and business data to identify trends in areas such as turnover, performance, engagement, and team effectiveness.
- Support performance cycles, leadership development, organizational initiatives, and other people programs.
- Help leaders navigate change while maintaining clarity, accountability, and team performance.
- Identify opportunities to improve people processes, structures, and ways of working.
- Challenge assumptions and help leaders address root causes rather than symptoms.
- Work cross-functionally with HR and business teams to implement practical solutions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of true HR Business Partner experience, partnering directly with managers and business leaders.
- Strong experience with performance management, coaching, employee development, and organizational effectiveness.
- Business-minded approach with the ability to understand how people decisions impact operational and business outcomes.
- Comfortable using data and metrics to inform decisions and identify trends.
- Strong communication and influencing skills, including the ability to have direct and difficult conversations.
- Sound judgment and the ability to handle sensitive or complex people situations.
- Comfortable working independently in an environment where priorities can change quickly.
- Proactive and comfortable creating structure, improving processes, and solving problems without having every answer provided upfront.
This Role May Not Be for You If…
This is not primarily an HR administration, recruiting, payroll, or transactional HR role. You may not be the right fit if your experience has been primarily focused on:
- HR administration or coordination
- Recruiting / Talent Acquisition
- Payroll or purely transactional HR operations
- Following established HR processes without significant business partnership
- Supporting employees without directly influencing or coaching leaders You should also be comfortable with:
- Challenging leaders respectfully when something needs to change.
- Balancing empathy with accountability.
- Working without a highly structured corporate environment or large team of HR resources.
- Shifting priorities and responding to business needs rather than working from a rigid, predefined agenda.
- Taking ownership instead of waiting for instructions.
