HR Generalist – Major Hedge Fund

Our client, a rapidly growing global multi-billion dollar hedge fund, are looking to add a HR Generalist to their expanding London HC function. The hire is a newly created role as a result of growth due to new office openings leading to a large drive to increase internal capacity to match growth – this particular hire has a specific focus on the firm’s graduate and analyst employee population.

The hire will report to a Senior HR Business Partner and take on crucial responsibilities across the People operations and support the early careers employee population. You will take ownership of onboarding coordination and new joiner performance integration, managing key areas including contract management, liaising with external vendors and stakeholders and onboarding new joiners across emerging talent and analyst client groups. The firm is growing rapidly and the individual must be able to operate autonomously and in a proactive manner in a fast-paced environment supporting the Senior HR Business Partner with all aspects of the review and promotion process. The hire will take on project work, supporting the Senior HR Business Partner on performance management system improvement, working continuously to enhance onboarding and talent management processes through automation projects, managing the internal talent matrix and taking an active role in the initiative to upscale and augment the efficiency of the firm’s graduate hiring program. You will also be able to work on projects focusing on L&D strategy development for the fund.

This newly created role offers the chance to join a market leading hedge fund that is in growth mode in Europe, taking ownership of a remit which will require you to interact with all aspects of the HR function of the business and over time you will be able to build up your own skillset as a well-rounded HR generalist.

Strong candidates will have roughly 3-5yrs of experience, ideally in HR operations, talent onboarding, process improvement, Early Careers management and liaising with external vendors i.e background check service providers. My client is looking for junior candidates with strong experience and a growth oriented mindset, that are able to operate in an independent, fast paced manner and a willingness to step up and grow into the role.

The role will roughly pay up to a £65k base salary, with a significant bonus % (the firm pay bonuses to non-investment staff in the upper quartile of the London hedge fund market) and an industry leading benefits package (top of the range healthcare, large pension, fully subsidised gym memberships, breakfast & lunch fully subsidised on a daily basis etc).
