HR Senior Associate Private Equity - £65k - £70k

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an HR Senior Associate to pretty much run the London office by being the right hand person of the HR Director who is often travelling globally.

This is not a Manager level role as there is no one to manage. However the scope responsibilities means that you will be the go to person for HR matters and you will have the experience, confidence and initiative to find out answers from internal and external sources. Needless to say you'll also know when things are above your pay grade and when you must escalate.

In effect, this is a stand-alone role looking after the employee life cycle of the London office. This includes supervising the outsourced payroll, although little previous experience is needed as the present HR D is on hand to guide through the process.

In short, this is an excellent opportunity for an HR Assistant or HR Administrator to take the next step towards more responsibility.

This role was first advertised as an Associate at the £55 - £65k level, however on interviewing some strong candidates they have decided the need someone with a few years more experience.

The Role will include but not be limited to:

• Managing the employee life cycle
• Manage the day to day daily HR operations
• Ensure recruitment is efficient and the candidate handling process is well managed.
• Manage monthly payroll (run through 3rd party provider)
• Act as first point of contact for ER and any other HR queries.

The Candidate will:

• Have at least 6, probably 7 - 9 years of HR experience, with most of that being within financial services. The strongest candidates will come from PE, Investment Management or Hedge Funds.
• Have a track record of staying with an employer for at least 3 years.
• Understanding of UK labour laws, best HR polices and practice.
• Have a strong familiarity with SMCR
• Experience of SAP Success Factors is a plus.

This role is 4 days in the office and 1 working from home.

There can be no visa sponsorship for this position.
