Our client, an industry leading, multi-billion dollar AUM hedge fund, are looking to make a "HR Business Partner" hire into its expanding London office.
This newly created position will be the first HR Business Partner hired into the firm's London office.
Reporting into the Global Head of HR (the majority of the wider HR team are US based), the hire will take ownership for a broad range of HRBP tasks, extending to managing HR infrastructure buildouts, upgrades and project work – a major project initially being the implementation of a new HRIS firmwide, which the hire will play a key role in leading.
More broadly, the hire will have sole ownership for a broad range of HR Business partnering responsibilities, including managing HR operations & systems, the development and execution of HR policies, having a focus on compensation & benefits, training/promotions/disciplinary management etc.
For a firm of its size, stature and stage of development, this is a highly visible & autonomous role specific to its expanding London office.
Candidates should ideally have 5-10yrs relevant experience as a HR Generalist, HRBP or HR Operations Specialist.
We are ideally looking for buy-side specialists, but could consider exceptional banking candidates.
Experience using Workday is required.
Candidates must have strong stakeholder management experience, project management skills and excellent communication skills.
This is a first-of-its-kind hire for the hedge fund, so our client is committed to offering the successful candidate a strong increase on his/her current base and a year one target bonus range that will make up a large % of that base number, with an upside to £175k TC year one for a top performer.
The firm also offer a fantastic benefits package.
Whilst the hire should expect to work a 5 day office week initially, it will be possible to WFH 1-2 days per week once established in the role.
