Our client is a leading global quantitative investment manager operating across international financial markets. Combining technology, data, research and trading expertise, the firm has built a reputation for innovation, intellectual rigour and exceptional performance.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced HR Business Partner to join a highly regarded HR team in London. This role is ideal for a commercially minded HR professional who thrives in fast-paced, high-performing environments and enjoys building strong relationships with senior stakeholders while remaining actively involved in day-to-day HR delivery.

Working closely with specialist teams across Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, Reward and HR Systems, you will help shape people strategies, support organisational growth and ensure best-in-class employee experiences.
Key responsibilities include:
- Acting as a trusted HR advisor to employees and leaders across the business.
- Managing complex employee relations cases and providing pragmatic solutions.
- Supporting performance management, compensation and talent management processes.
- Driving workforce planning and organisational effectiveness initiatives.
- Facilitating performance and feedback discussions to enhance team and individual performance.
- Using people data and insights to influence decision-making and improve outcomes.
- Supporting organisational change and business transformation activities.
- Partnering with managers on recruitment, succession planning and talent development.
- Contributing to continuous improvements across HR processes and policies.
