A leading international organisation is seeking an experienced Senior HR Change & Transformation Partner to support a significant people and organisational change programme across multiple European markets.

This is a high-profile opportunity for an accomplished Senior HR Business Partner, Head of HR, HR Director, or HR Change professional who has successfully navigated complex organisational change within a multinational environment.

  • Build strong relationships across business and HR stakeholders, influencing decision-making and ensuring alignment throughout the change process.
  • Coordinate activities across multiple functions and geographies to support successful programme delivery.
  • Identify risks, manage stakeholder expectations, and help deliver effective people outcomes during periods of 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.
