People Director
This isn't a business looking for a traditional HR leader. It's looking for a commercially minded People Director who wants to influence, challenge and help shape the future of an ambitious consumer brand.
If you thrive in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments where people are seen as a genuine driver of business performance, this one is for you.
Working closely with an experienced and highly respected Chief People Officer, you'll be a key member of the senior leadership team, partnering with executive stakeholders to shape and deliver a people strategy that supports ambitious commercial growth.
This is a broad leadership role covering organisational design, culture, engagement, leadership capability, talent, workforce planning, employee relations and business transformation. You'll work alongside an established People team, influencing senior leaders across the business and helping drive meaningful, lasting change.
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.
