You bring progressive HR leadership experience and a strong track record as a strategic advisor to senior executives. This experience comes from private equity, alternative asset management, corporate finance, or similar high-performance, commercially driven financial services environments.

Success in this role requires deep expertise in alternative asset management talent markets, including senior hiring, performance management, complex compensation structures such as carry, co-invest, and incentive programs. You also understand the factors that drive retention of investment professionals in private markets and bring an international mindset, recognizing how cross regional dynamics, and cultural nuances shape workforce decisions.

To excel in the role, you’ll demonstrate:

• Executive presence. You influence senior stakeholders, build credibility quickly, and drive alignment across complex environments.
• Sharp commercial judgement. You apply strong analytical capability and a data-driven approach, paired with the discretion needed to operate in a fast-paced business.
• Effectiveness in matrixed organizations. You balance enterprise governance with strategic business partnership, and bring experience leading lean HR teams while remaining hands-on with critical processes.
• Advanced HR expertise. You have a strong understanding of US employment law and multi-jurisdictional HR compliance, with experience managing HR operations across the Americas.
