Senior HR Business Partner
London | Hybrid (3 days in office)
£120,000 – £150,000 basic + package
We're delighted to be partnering with a leading Financial Services organisation on the hiring of a new Senior HR Business Partner. The business is undergoing a significant period of transformation and growth, and as part of this next phase, we have been retained to appoint this new role, joining the organisation’s HR leadership team.
This is a newly shaped role with a broad remit. Whilst it will provide senior-level, generalist HR partnering across the business, the successful candidate will also play a central role in some of the organisation’s most significant transformation programmes.
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity for an experienced HR leader to join a business where there is genuine scope to influence both the organisation and its future people agenda.
The successful candidate will operate as a senior member of the Business Partnering team and a key voice within the HR leadership team, working alongside specialist leaders across Reward, Talent, Inclusion, Diversity, Learning & Development, and HR Operations.
The role will combine strategic partnering with hands-on delivery. We are looking for someone who enjoys working in an environment where there is still plenty to build, shape, and improve.
A major part of the mandate will be supporting the business through a substantial transformation agenda, including:
- The insourcing of various new business areas.
- The organisation's digital agenda, encompassing automation, an enterprise data platform, and the adoption of AI across the business.
- Organisation design, operating model development, and cultural change associated with these programmes.
- Building the capability, structures, and behaviours required for a more technology-enabled organisation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Following the completion of the transformation programmes, the successful candidate will become the senior HR Business Partner for the new population. You will partner a C-Suite Stakeholder and wider senior leadership team, helping to translate the strategy into the people, capability, and culture required to deliver it.
The Role
The successful candidate will be a true generalist, with responsibility across the full breadth of the HR Business Partner agenda.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Acting as a trusted adviser and strategic HR partner to senior business leaders.
- Leading the people agenda across significant transformation and change programmes.
- Providing expert advice on organisation design, operating models, workforce planning, and performance.
- Supporting complex insourcing and integration activity.
- Developing and embedding new organisational structures, capabilities, and ways of working.
- Helping leaders navigate significant cultural and behavioural change.
- Coaching and challenging senior stakeholders to improve organisational and individual performance.
- Contributing to the wider HR strategy as a senior member of the HR leadership team.
- Leading and developing one HR, while contributing to the effectiveness and development of the broader Business Partnering community.

The Person
We are looking for a senior HR professional with approximately 15+ years' experience, gained within Financial Services and ideally across a broad generalist HR BP career.
Experience:
- A strong track record of operating as a senior HRBP in a complex financial services environment.
- Significant experience delivering business transformation and organisational change.
- Experience of insourcing and/or outsourcing, organisation design, and operating model transformation.
- Strong commercial acumen and the ability to understand and respond to business priorities rather than operating solely through an HR lens.
- Experience partnering with senior executives and influencing at the highest levels.
- Exposure to technology, digital, or AI transformation would be highly advantageous, particularly where this has involved cultural and behavioural change.
- The confidence and maturity to operate with considerable autonomy.
- A natural coaching style and a strong ability to build trusted relationships.
- The resilience and pragmatism to operate effectively in a fast-moving, evolving environment.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a pacey, entrepreneurial business going through change and make a lasting impact. If this sounds in line with your next move, we would love to hear from you.
