About the Opportunity

Six Degrees Search is partnering with an established, growing financial services firm in Wheaton, Illinois, to identify an HR / Business Manager.

Our client currently has approximately 22 employees and has ambitious plans for continued growth. They are seeking a hands-on HR professional who enjoys wearing multiple hats, taking initiative, and helping build the processes and infrastructure needed to support an expanding organization.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong foundation in recruiting, employee benefits, and general HR administration who wants to take ownership of day-to-day HR responsibilities while growing professionally.

This is a hands-on position, not a traditional people-management role. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can work independently, solve problems, and contribute to both HR and general business operations.

Business & Office Operations

• Support leadership with general business administration and special projects.




• Coordinate office operations and vendor relationships.




• Assist with internal communications and operational initiatives.




• Take ownership of administrative responsibilities that help the organization operate efficiently.

Qualifications

• Approximately 3–10 years of progressive HR experience, with flexibility for candidates who bring the right combination of skills.




• Hands-on experience with recruiting, onboarding, and employee benefits administration.




• Experience or exposure within financial services, banking, insurance, mortgage, investment management, or a related industry is strongly preferred.




• Familiarity with HR systems, payroll processes, and employment compliance.




• Experience working with benefits brokers and insurance carriers is a plus.




• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.




• Ability to work independently, prioritize multiple responsibilities, and take initiative.




• Comfortable working in a smaller organization where responsibilities may evolve.




• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field preferred.

What Makes This Opportunity Attractive?

• Join an established financial services organization with significant growth plans.




• Take ownership of a broad range of HR responsibilities.




• Work closely with company leadership.




• Help develop and improve HR processes rather than simply maintaining existing procedures.




• Opportunity for increased responsibility and professional growth as the organization expands.




• Competitive base salary of $75,000–$85,000 plus bonus and employee benefits.
