In-House Paralegal - HR/Employment Specialist

We are seeking a talented and business-minded HR/Employment Specialist to join our dynamic HR and Legal team at Onyx Capital Group. Our upward growth trajectory is continuing, and our business operations are expanding rapidly, especially in Zug, Singapore, and Dubai. The prosperity of Onyx has been attributed to our ability to grow our business at an impressive rate. This is an important factor to understand because you will be working in a high-growth environment which will require you to continuously develop your skills and knowledge.

While this role will undoubtedly include daily tasks (sometimes clerical in nature but always hands-on), you will take on responsibility for highly complex and intricate matters. In such a critical work environment where there is no margin for error, you will have to juggle and complete multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and adapt quickly to changing circumstances while exhibiting meticulous attention to detail.   

Importantly, we are not looking for a candidate who wrongfully assumes that their role is to judge and criticise.   We are looking for a candidate who can contribute to our business in a meaningful manner. Experience in a trading or financial markets firm is preferred, especially if the experience has been gained in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. You will have extremely strong problem-solving skills and can undertake detailed analysis and research of a subject or area. In doing so, the ideal candidate will be exceptionally skilled when it comes to summarising the salient points of a critical issue. You will have strong legal writing skills and the ability to use Excel at an advanced level.  

Above all, flexibility and a strong ethic are paramount.

Your duties will include:

• Provide expert legal hands-on support on all employment law matters.
• Draft and review employment contracts, correspondence, employment handbooks, policies, and procedures.
• Maintain legal and contractual documentation as required by law.
• Provide input as required on employee relations and HR issues.
• Ensure compliance with employment legislation and regulations.
• Supporting on investigations and responses to regulatory matters.
• Contributing to special projects such as setting-up new offices in different jurisdictions.
• Carry out general tasks as part of the HR and legal team.
• Collaborate with Compliance department on matters relating to SMCR requirements.
