HR Manager - Private Equity - £70,000 - £90,000

My client is one of the largest Private Equity firms with an HQ outside of the United States.

A new role has been created to manage the London office while reporting to the HR Director, freeing them up for more global responsibilities.

This position will be one of three equivalent roles, one in each geography, and is therefore integral to the global HR structure as well as essential in the London office.

The Role

1. Manage the London office, including day-to-day HR operations.
2. Handle Employee Relations issues, escalating only if necessary.
3. Manage the monthly payroll through the third-party provider.
4. Own the policies and procedures, ensuring they are fully up to date.
5. Lead recruitment efforts.
6. Participate in global HR projects.

The Candidate

1. At least 5, probably 7 years of generalist HR experience within Private Equity or Investment Management. Experience in Global Markets Investment Banking may also be relevant, but Private Equity is prioritized. More experienced candidates will also be considered if their sector experience and levels match the requirements.
2. Full understanding and experience of UK Employment Law.
3. Bachelor's degree in HR or a related subject.
4. Personal qualities such as the ability to read the room, punctuality, flexibility, and a professional appearance are also important alongside professional knowledge.
5. CIPD Level 5 (or working towards it).

This is a hybrid role with flexibility: 3 days in the office and 2 days WFH.

Note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role; candidates must be UK Citizens or have ILR.
