You will partner with teams across the People Function to review, redesign and enhance processes, leverage technology, improve governance and reporting, and support the delivery of strategic people priorities.

  • Maintain effective process governance, documentation and knowledge management, ensuring policies, guidance and standards remain accurate, accessible and up to date.
  • Manage a portfolio of workforce-related cases, providing operational support across performance management, appeals, reward, talent and other people processes.

  • Deliver operational excellence projects and change initiatives, collaborating with stakeholders to implement strategic priorities and communicate recommendations, progress and benefits effectively.

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.
