About the Role

Although this is a full-time, 3-month Fixed Term Contract opportunity initially, please speak to us about what flexibility means to you. We are always open to discussing individual flexible working needs, so please don’t let this stop you from applying.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a talented individual to join our Nespresso People team as a HR Business Partner.

You will partner with the business to provide best-in-class HR support, guidance and governance, helping to deliver meaningful people outcomes across the region.

This role offers a real opportunity to work with managers at all levels as an instrumental regional business partner from day one.

You will be responsible for:

  • Supporting the Retail Team and building strong trusting relationships within the network.
  • Building excellent relationships across the network and coaching managers to deliver a high level of service.
  • Acting as a key point of contact for employee relations matters, supporting timely and appropriate resolution.
  • Developing line managers and individuals to understand performance and development activities, ensuring core processes are embedded and delivered.

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.
