Job description

We are hiring for a junior HR Associate/Recruitment Coordinator to join a global financial services firm on an initial one-year FTC.

• Manage end-to-end onboarding: HRIS set-up, benefits enrolment, background
   screening, and new joiner comms
• Be the first point of contact for the HR inbox —  queries and ensuring
   timely responses
• Support day-to-day benefits administration and employee documentation
• Keep employee records accurate and up to date within the HRIS
• Get involved in process improvement as HR scales with the firm

Experience Required:

Experience working in financial services is essential
Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities and deadlines 
Excellent attention to detail, with real ownership and follow-through
Excellent written and verbal communication
Discretion and professionalism when handling confidential information
HR or People Operations experience is a plus — ideally within professional or financial services

A proactive, service-minded approach and appetite to grow within HR
