Our client, an industry leading hedge fund, are looking to hire an EMEA Payroll & Benefits Specialist to step in for a 12 month FTC to cover the current regional lead who is going on maternity leave.
The hire will step into a highly autonomous and high impact role from day one and take ownership of managing the payroll and benefits process for the EMEA region (with the option of taking on additional international jurisdictions should they wish), taking responsibilities for running internal processes and managing the onboarding and relationships with a new vendor; working to ensure a smooth process and provide quality assessment and support the transition to a new system. The remit will extend to supporting and taking an active part in the automation and development of internal payroll processes, working with teams across the firm to improve (or create) synergies when necessary and assess how internal infrastructure must adapt to support the firm’s rapid growth.
The hire is joining at a key time as the firm are looking to centralise payroll, bring on a new global vendor and overhaul the benefits platform – hence you will have the ability to play a key role in these initiatives, working with peers across the globe.
The role offers a professional the opportunity to step into a leading buy-side firm and build up one’s credentials whilst taking on a high impact role and key strategic initiatives whilst opening the avenue to transition into the hedge fund space after they transition out of this role. As this is a business-critical hire, the firm has budgeted up to £90K on the base with a significant completion bonus and a fantastic benefits package (the hire will be treated as a permanent employee).
The firm also offers employees the opportunity to WFH 1 - 2 days a week.
