HAIL Partners is working with a global, dynamic investment firm who are looking for a HR Manager for a 13 month FTC.
The role covers everything HR ex-US, with a London team of c.50 people in the UK and smaller headcounts across Europe. They are looking for a pure generalist who can work closely with senior Partners/leaders in the London office.

* Strong knowledge of the full HR lifecycle
* Used to smaller, fast-moving businesses where guidance is light and the picture changes weekly

* 30 days holiday
* Lunch allowance
