Job description

Senior Talent Acquisition Partner – Global Markets (Sales & Trading | FI | FX | Rates | Credit | Equities) Associate/VP-level role — full ownership of a Front Office business, not a Lead/Director-level hire

Own recruitment for a Front Office Global Markets business — partnering directly with MDs and Business Heads, not buried three layers down.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

This search is run by LevelUP HCS on behalf of our client, a leading global bank, for an embedded Talent Acquisition position covering their Global Markets business in NYC.

YOU'LL GET

• Full ownership of a business division
• Direct access to senior leadership
• Dedicated sourcing support
• Real influence over hiring strategy

WHAT YOU BRING

• 5–10 years recruiting in financial services
• Front Office hiring experience (Global Markets, S&T, Capital Markets, or IB)
• Experience partnering with MDs, Business Heads, or Desk Heads — even if you're not yet operating at Lead/Director level

BACKGROUNDS WE WANT TO HEAR FROM

• Investment Banks / Global Financial Institutions

In-house or search side — if you know Global Markets talent, we want to talk.
