Job description

Mondrian Alpha has been mandated by a highly successful, global hedge fund to hire an HR Director into its New York office.

This is a newly created and business-critical position, representing the firm's most senior HR hire in the US. Working in a very lean HR function day one, with continued growth planned across the region, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to buildout a broader team around them, whilst partnering closely with senior leadership and an established global HR team.

The remit will initially be extremely broad, combining strategic HR business partnering with responsibility for developing the infrastructure, processes and people strategy required to support a growing US business. The hire will work closely with senior stakeholders on organisational design, talent, performance, employee relations, compensation and broader people initiatives, whilst helping to shape what the HR function looks like as the business scales.

The successful candidate will be an experienced HR business partner who has operated at a senior level within a high-performance environment. Hedge fund, asset management, proprietary trading or IB backgrounds are preferred, although we will consider individuals from other sophisticated, fast-paced organisations.

This is a rare opportunity to join a leading global investment firm in a genuinely formative HR position, combining significant autonomy and senior stakeholder exposure with the opportunity to build a function rather than inherit an established model.

The financial component on offer is also extremely attractive.
