Job description

Role: HR Generalist / HR Operations Manager

Location: Midtown, New York

In-Office Schedule: 3 days in office

Compensation: $130-175k base plus bonus, depending on experience

Our client is a highly regarded global investment firm with an exceptional track record and a genuinely fantastic culture. They’re looking for an HR Generalist / HR Operations professional to join their New York team in a broad, high-impact role spanning HR operations, immigration, recruitment and wider people initiatives.

This is a lean HR team where everyone wears multiple hats. They’re looking for someone bright, commercially minded and high EQ who enjoys taking ownership, building relationships and getting involved across different areas of HR.

As the HR Generalist / HR Operations Manager you will be responsible for:

• Owning core HR operations and employee lifecycle activity.
• Managing immigration, partnering closely with external counsel and employees throughout visa processes.
• Leading US Associate recruitment, including search partner management, interview processes, candidate experience, events and offer negotiations.
• Supporting with HR data analytics and reporting.
• Leading key people projects, potentially including the eventual transition away from the current PEO model.
• Bringing strong data and AI fluency to the team, using both to make HR processes smarter and more efficient.
• Gradually taking on more HRBP exposure, partnering with employees and leaders across the business.

It’s a great opportunity for someone who wants breadth, visibility and the chance to have real ownership within a sophisticated but refreshingly non-traditional environment. The culture is commercial, collaborative and down to earth, and the role will offer exposure to senior leaders across the organization.

Key requirements:

• 3-6 years’ HR Generalist and/or HR Operations experience, ideally within financial services, private equity or alternative investments.
• Hands-on experience managing US immigration processes is essential.
• High EQ with strong judgement, communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Comfortable working in a lean, fast-paced environment and taking ownership across a broad range of responsibilities.
• Strong attention to detail and confidence working with HR data and Excel.
• Commercial, proactive and genuinely interested in broadening their HR skillset, including exposure to business partnering.
• An interest in AI and how it can be used effectively within HR.

Please note that our client is unable to provide visa sponsorship or relocation for this role.

The listed salary range serves as a guide and the salary offered within that range to the candidate selected will be based on experience, qualifications, and location.
