An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced HR leader to join an international manufacturing organisation in a highly influential Senior HR Business Partner position.

Client Details

Supporting a large, complex and unionised manufacturing operation, this role sits at the heart of the business and plays a critical part in shaping organisational performance, leadership capability and workforce strategy.

This is far more than a traditional HRBP role. Working closely with the site Director and leadership team, you will help steer the people agenda through a period of continued transformation, ensuring organisational change is delivered successfully while maintaining strong employee and industrial relations.

Description

As a trusted adviser to senior operational leaders, you will:

  • Partner with the site Director and senior leadership teams to shape and deliver the site's people strategy.
  • Drive organisational effectiveness, leadership capability and workforce planning.
  • Lead employee and industrial relations strategy across a unionised environment.
  • Support the successful delivery of ongoing business transformation and change initiatives.
  • Coach and challenge senior leaders to build high-performing teams and sustainable business outcomes.
  • Lead talent, succession and capability agendas to ensure future workforce readiness.
  • Manage and develop an established HR and learning team.
  • Influence business decision-making through insight, data and commercial acumen.

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.
