Our client, a major US hedge fund, is looking to hire a Global HR Business Partner to support their expanding EMEA Investment & Sales teams.
Reporting into a London based Director and working directly with heads of trading, investment research and sales teams on a global, firmwide level, the hire will take ownership of all non-US investment business lines as the dedicated Business Partner managing HR processes, policy development and roll out and ensuring that people strategy is aligned with wider business growth objectives. The firm is looking for a strong HR professional that can leverage their hands-on skillset to drive processes including complex compensation management, performance management and talent retention as well as internal mobility, whilst also acting as a trusted partner to investment managers that are looking to expand and diversify their asset class coverage. The hire will also play a key role in managing firm’s SMCR and other HR regulatory requirements pertaining to investment professionals.
