We are partnering with a highly respected investment organisation to recruit an HR Coordinator who will play a pivotal role in supporting the delivery of a first-class HR function across the business.

Please note: This is a genuinely operational HR position with a clear, long-term remit.

Supporting a highly professional workforce, you'll be involved across the full employee lifecycle, including onboarding, payroll, employee documentation, HR systems, benefits administration, recruitment coordination, reporting, compliance, and employee support.

• Deliver a seamless onboarding and offboarding experience for employees.
• Maintain accurate employee records and data within the HRIS.
• Administer benefits, pensions, and leave processes.
• Act as the first point of contact for employee and manager HR queries.
• Produce HR reports, maintain trackers, and support compliance and audit activities.
• Coordinate recruitment administration, including interview scheduling, candidate communication, and pre-employment screening.
• Support HR projects, process improvements, policy updates, and wider Human Capital initiatives.

About You

• Previous experience within HR Administration, HR Operations, or an HR Coordinator role in sectors such as PE, VC, Wealth management.
• Strong payroll administration experience, ideally within a deadline-driven environment.
• Experience managing employee lifecycle administration from onboarding through to off-boarding.
• Confident drafting employment contracts, offer letters, and other HR documentation.
• Experience using HR systems and producing accurate HR reports.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A professional, discreet, and customer-focused approach.
• Proactive and resourceful, with the confidence to research issues independently and recommend solutions.
