HR Manager | City of London | Hybrid | up to £70K
A genuinely broad HR role for someone who knows how to operate with confidence, judgement and credibility.
We’re recruiting an experienced HR Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day people agenda for a specialist London-based business unit within a global organisation currently going through a period of change.
This isn’t a role where you’ll simply manage HR processes from a distance. You’ll be close to the business, working directly with senior leaders and employees and becoming a trusted, visible HR presence across the London population.
It’s a broad, hands-on generalist position covering everything from employee relations and recruitment through to organisational change, people data, performance and manager coaching.
You’ll take responsibility for a varied HR agenda, including:
- Acting as the key HR contact for the London employee population
- Managing employee relations and complex casework, including matters involving senior employees
- Coaching and advising managers on people issues and difficult conversations
- Supporting restructures, organisational change and workforce planning
- Managing recruitment activity and supporting hiring managers throughout the process
- Overseeing onboarding and offboarding
- Supporting performance management, appraisals and talent development
- Using people data and analytics to identify trends and support business decisions
- Working closely with central HR teams and shared services
- Ensuring HR policies, processes and employee data remain accurate, compliant and effective
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.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll have strong UK employment law knowledge alongside demonstrable experience of employee relations, complex casework and organisational change/restructures. Experience within a global or matrix organisation would be particularly valuable. Just as importantly, we’re looking for someone with professional maturity and sound judgement.
The client group requires an HR professional who can read situations well, adapt their approach to different stakeholders and remain calm and credible when conversations become more challenging. You’ll need to be able to articulate your thinking confidently while communicating in a concise, clear and structured way.
You’ll know when to listen, when to challenge, when to coach and when someone simply needs a clear answer.
