You will report into the Global Head of HR (also sits in London) which allows a huge amount of genuine autonomy, and the ability to influence and devise the People Agenda across EMEA as well as partnering with key stakeholders. The role will manage a team of 5 directly and work closely with peers in New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Talent and Diversity is high on the agenda for the HR function and this role will manage various projects/initiatives such as a Succession Planning Review, the Women in Finance Charter, Business transformation and overseeing year-end compensation round. You would be required to ad-hoc support on complex employee relations cases, senior hires and provide HR leadership on broader issues such as Culture and Conduct.
