Job description

A new Snr HR Manager role is now available within a City based Asset Manager. The role has just been created through organic growth and the high demand from the business for first class HR solutions. Reporting directly into the HRD you will be managing one individual and working within a highly collegiate team who have a wonderful chemistry/dynamic between them. You will compliment and add value to both the team and business.

The role has a broad generalist remit – covering the full employee lifecycle. The will include everything from talent acquisition, performance management, high level ER (lower level is dealt with by your team members), remuneration, reporting, committee representation and will be a mix of both hands on operational HR as well as strategic involvement.

There are also operational elements of the role such as anything regulatory, SMCR, IR35 and any new regulatory matters that come to light. You will also be looking at processes and the way they do things and seeing if there are improvements and better ways of doing things.

On top of this you also have the team management elements – guiding, motivating, developing, empowering and ensuring the team are engaged and providing the business with a high quality, customer centric service.

We are looking for candidates with strong HR generalist experience within a Financial Services business. Proven management skills are also a necessity. A mixed background of generalist, projects and some technical elements of HR will compliment this role perfectly. Candidates will need to be team centric yet able to operate autonomously and be able to liaise with all levels within the business particularly senior staff/leadership.
