HR Operations Manager
12 Month FTC
London
We're working with a fast-paced Financial Services firm looking to appoint an HR Operations Manager on a 12-month fixed term contract.
This is a hands-on HR Operations role, responsible for delivering and continually improving the employee lifecycle whilst ensuring an excellent experience for employees across the business.
The position will suit someone who enjoys operational HR, systems, reporting and process improvement rather than a traditional HR Business Partner role.
Responsibilities
- Managing the end-to-end employee lifecycle.
- Acting as the first point of contact for HR queries.
- Owning the day-to-day running of the HRIS (Workday).
- Producing monthly HR reporting, dashboards and headcount information.
- Improving HR processes and identifying opportunities for automation.
- Ensuring HR records, policies and processes remain compliant and accurate.
- Supporting payroll reporting and wider HR projects.
- Working closely with stakeholders across the business to deliver an efficient HR Operations function.
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.
