Job description

A major, London based multi-billion dollar AUM hedge fund, going through a huge period of expansion, are looking to make a newly created Benefits SME hire.

The hire will take on a key role in the development of a growing HR function, as a specialist focusing on 'benefits'. The hire will work to support the development and roll out of strategic initiatives for benefits firmwide. As part of a lean and growing team the hire will take ownership of managing relationships with benefits vendors and using internal HRIS reporting systems to make data driven decisions for the best new benefits packages for the firm to adopt as they continue to grow exponentially in terms of headcount and geographical presence. The hire will be supported by the broader HR team in the management of BAU processes such as year-end reviews, compliance and enrolment management.

Ad Hoc + project focused work also forms a key component of the role as you will be expected to regularly track emerging trends in the hedge fund industry, actively assessing the competitive and regulatory landscapes and articulating potential impact. You would also work to identify and propose improvements to existing benefits processes, tools and programs to enhance employee experience and operational efficiency.

Candidates should ideally have 2-5years of relevant experience working directly in ‘benefits’, or in a HR generalist role that includes benefits as part of his/her remit. Whilst FS experience is preferred, we are open to industry. Candidates must have excellent communication and organizational skills and a strong academic background.

This is a business-critical hire - our client is committed to offering the successful candidate a very attractive increase on his/her current base salary and a bonus that can make up a large % of base if the hire performs to a high standard. It is also important to highlight that the hire will be paid a sign-on bonus / Q1 guarantee to more than make up for any loss of earnings by resigning in Q4. A top pension and healthcare package is also included.

The firm allows employees to request WFH flexibility when required.
