The opportunity
Dartry Search is partnering with a leading global institutional asset manager to appoint an HR Generalist following continued business growth.
This is an opportunity to broaden your experience within an established investment management business, gaining exposure to best-practice HR and learning directly from an experienced HR Director.
Reporting to the HR Director, you will support the full employee lifecycle, combining day-to-day HR delivery with involvement in wider people initiatives. The breadth of the role offers scope to build your judgement, develop stronger relationships with the business and take on increasing responsibility.
What you’ll do
- Support the full employee lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, employee relations and offboarding, providing a responsive service to employees and managers.
- Contribute to performance reviews, talent development and learning initiatives, working with the HR Director to support employee development and management capability.
- Maintain accurate employee records and HR systems, producing reports and insights to support workforce planning and people decisions.
- Help improve HR policies, processes and ways of working, while contributing to projects across the people agenda and coordinating with external employment providers where required.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Confidence with Microsoft 365, particularly Excel, familiarity with HR systems and exposure to reporting tools such as Power BI would be useful, but are not essential.
